“The beginning of life as a civil servant should start with the determination to be a good civil servant. As a senior official, I now introduce the sayings by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn to “continue, maintain and extend happiness for the people” as working guideline all. We wish you all responsibility in your role, be disciplined and determined in your performance, and strictly abide by government regulations, not behave badly, and refrain from corruption. You shall drive policies into action by using the civil state mechanism for the people’s benefit, analyze the cause of the problem, and work together in an integrated way. In addition, you need to continuously develop yourself, enhance competency skills necessary for government service, pursue knowledge, and pursue labor movements and the current changes in the world. In addition, another essential thing that we need to understand is teamwork. Where working as a team does not mean only being in harmony alone. It means forwarding the work that we have to be responsible for efficiently. I wish you all to be aware of your duties and to give your all in your work,” concluded Mr. Niyom.
