These events are designed to foster a sense of unity and professionalism among public servants, inspiring them to continually enhance their skills and strive for excellence in their responsibilities.

Public servants employed at Thusong Service Centres play a vital role in catering to the needs of local communities. They are responsible for addressing various citizen concerns, spanning from health services and education to social benefits and information provision.
