SIBU: The Chief Minister’s Department has been urged to benchmark the ‘Wild Idea Club’ concept to be practised throughout Sarawak’s public service.
Director of State Service Modernization Unit, Dr Antony Valentine Laiseh said the ‘Wild Idea Club’ was first held by the Sibu Division Resident and District Office.
“The Wild Ideas Club aims to encourage innovative ideas and suggestions from the staff of every level.
“I have been informed that community leaders are also involved in the programme and exposed with the concept to make them able to contribute ideas based on their perspective as community leaders,” he said, adding that its means that all civil servants diversify their knowledge and thus fully utilize their skills and knowledge with dedication by contributing ideas.

“This is in line with the recommendations of Sarawak chief minister who introduced the digital economy as a new dimension in the development of Sarawak,” he added.
