"No road is long with good company.” RSOG is privileged to contribute to a three-day learning journey from 11 to 13 August 2026 for senior government officials from Negara Brunei Darussalam and guest countries. This journey is part of the Executive Development Programme for Senior Government Officials curated and led by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore.
The journey started with an introduction and context-setting by RSOG to build a coherent understanding of the road ahead.
The first stop was the Malaysian Integrity Institute—the nation’s commitment to improving governance across the board through education and advocacy. Next was the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization; the collection of books and artifacts reminds us of the importance of documenting references for future generations. The final stop of Day 1 was the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Academy. Enforcement agencies must continue learning or risk being left behind.
Day 2 was in Putrajaya and its vicinity. It commenced at the National Resilience College, the most senior learning centre within Pusat Pengajian Pertahanan Nasional (PUSPAHANAS). An executive talk on leapfrogging by a defence industry practitioner and a networking session with management and resident students were the highlights. The visit to PETRONAS Leadership Centre was a revelation—learning has become multifaceted, with nation-building high on the agenda.
The final day was at the National Institute of Public Administration. Interactions focused on the broader MADANI framework, the public service role via Agenda Reformasi Perkhidmatan Awam, and the Government Service Efficiency Commitment Act 2025: move forward quickly with optimal resources while showing respect, gaining trust, exhibiting compassion, and upholding integrity. A fireside chat with CEO RSOG concluded the journey.
Heartfelt thanks to LKYSPP NUS and the Government of Negara Brunei Darussalam, as well as all host institutions for the top-class hospitality. To all participants, it has been a true pleasure and a memorable journey.
