- First of all I would like to thank our Chairman, YB Tuan Larry Sng for taking time off his busy schedule to join us at today’s Majlis Anugerah Lembaga Lada Malaysia. On behalf of MPB, we honour & appreciate your presence.
Distingished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
- The award presentation event or Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang (APC) is held annually and this is a great moment for MPB to appreciate and to recognise performing staffs who had demonstrated outstanding contributions and in performing their duties and works with diligence and commitment.
- Generally, the selection for award recipients are based on the criteria, set out in the Pekeliling Kemajuan Pentadbiran Awam Bilangan 2 tahun 2002, which covers the aspects of good work practices, good personality, active working atitude and their excellent contributions especially to the organization and the industry.

- Sijil Perkhidmatan Cemerlang,
- hadiah prestasi sebanyak RM1,000; dan
- peluang dan keutamaan untuk memajukan kerjaya seperti menghadiri kursus, seminar atau persidangan yang boleh menyumbang kepada peningkatan prestasi kerja.
- The other award presentation today is the APS - Anugerah Perkhidmatan Setia. This long service award will be presented to permenant staffs who has served the organization for at least 25 years or more.
- The APS Award is a form of appreciation that the board gives as a way to thank our dedicated staff for their contribution, devotion and loyalty while serving at MPB. This award is given in order to encourage staffs to continue serving the industry and stakeholders, at the same time continue their support to the organization.
- This award presentation will be an ongoing event as mentioned in the Pekeliling. Congratulations, and well done to the award recipients as you have shown great work attitude, and your examplary commitment will encourage others to follow your foot-steps.
- For those who did not make it, I hope this award ceremony serves as a motivation for you to perform even better so that you may be selected to receive this prestigious award in future.
Distingished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
- Globalization and work loads that requires real time action should be potrayed by a dynamic, responsive and efficient personel. Although I just joined the MPB family recently, I do realize that every MPB staff has great potential and opportunity to grow further in accordance with the civil service transformation, if you possess the right attitude.
- However, at times when we perform, ensuring the level of civil service at its best and to cater for the increasing demands of the community, we should perservere to give our best.
- Nevertheless, I hope the fun of working, with the sense of responsibility and intergrity while carrying out our duties should be a culture among all MPB's officers and staffs.
- Since I started serving this organization, I can see there are many issues and challenges that our agency is facing. The fall of pepper prices globally has given us great work pressure to work harder and to stay relevant in the industry. We are taking a number of initiatives to help to protect and to move up pepper prices in Malaysia, for the benefits of our farmers & stake-holders.
- Such activites include the re-branding of SaraSpice products, setting up on-line e-commerce shop and enhance distributions & displays of SaraSpice products. We will continue to train and educate our farmers to produce and process their pepper into high quality Sarawak pepper so that they can fetch higher prices. The above are just a few of the initiatives we are doing.
- We want to see the pepper industry grow stronger and better. The best example is we have already and continously produce great successful entrepreneurs by grooming them not just to be a common farmers but to be a successful businessmen.
- In regards to this, we at MPB hope that the support from all parties and personel in MPB will continue, to build and grow stronger through team work of all our staff.
Distingished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
- Before I end my speech, once again I would like to say thank you to our YB Chairman for sparing his busy time this morning to give out the awards and to be with us. I also would like to thank all the staffs who came this morning. The Management and the Board appreciate your presence, and this shows your commitment and support for MPB and the pepper industry as a whole, working together as a team.
- A big thank you to the organizers and MPB staffs for putting this event together successfully, and you all have made this event a great one. Last but not least, Selamat Berpuasa to all Muslim staffs, and I wish all our Dayak colleages Selamat Hari Gawai, Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai, and to our muslim colleagues Selamat Hari Raya in advance.
Thank you.
