KUCHING: Organisations must make safety briefing as their first priority, said State Secretary, Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Morshidi Abdul Ghani.

He added that he has always prioritised safety in his meetings with heads of departments.

“Even today before we start the programme there should be a safety briefing. I am insisting that now that there must be safety briefing. To start with is JKR. There must be a safety briefing,” he said, adding that even hotels do safety briefing.

“Maybe to us, to some of us, it is just a routine like we listen to the songs, Negaraku and Ibu Pertiwiku. But to me safety is No.1 priority,” he said when officiating CEO TALK Siri 1/2018 organised by MPC and Tabung Baitulmal Sarawak at Tabung Baitulmal Sarawak Batu Kawa here yesterday.

He added that safety briefings should be done at every place.

“Once you have that as a standard operating procedure (SOP), we will be able to ensure that we can achieve alot of excellence in our works. So I hope this matter will become something very important,” he stressed.

He also revealed that the State Government is implementing various projects and if these projects were not implemented based on excellence, the projects would not be able to achieve the objectives and intentions of the government.

On the projects announced by the Chief Minister, Morshidi said that the State Government had also set up a bank to finance the projects and that Petros was part of the objective to ensure sufficient generation of fund for more developments in the State.

“Our GDP growth is about four per cent per annum and we are looking at about six and a half per cent and in order to achieve the target of being a developed state by 2030, we must grow at about six and a half per cent. That means there is about two and a half per cent more.

“So we are embarking on digital economy because any expenditure or any projects implemented through the digital economy, the spinoff will help our economy and at the same time and indirectly other sectors will grow as well such as the entertainment and food industries as well will grow as a result.

At the event, a talk themed, 4th Industrial Revolution – The CEO Dilemma, was presented by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), Tan Sri Dato’ Prof. Dzulkifli Abdul Razak.
