Malang, (malangkota.go.id) – In the last week of 2022, the Mayor of Malang, Drs. H. Sutiaji continues to encourage regional apparatus and state civil apparatus (ASN) to excel and provide the best service to the community.

At the morning assembly held at Malang City Hall, Monday (26/12/2022), Sutiaji encouraged all regional apparatus to have idealism and big goals, have a strategy to achieve goals, and not be arrogant.
"Great people, people who are ready to achieve are those who never show off, feel great, feel smarter. In the future, I ask all ASN to continue to make extraordinary efforts," he said.
There are five best regional apparatuses that received awards for the Internal Performance Accountability System Results in the Malang City Government in 2022, namely Bappeda, Disdikbud, Inspectorate, DPUPRPKP, and Sukun District. As a reward for their best performance, these regional apparatuses received an additional capacity development budget allocation of IDR 50.000.000,00 which has been stated in the 2023 RAPBD. The mayor also said that the rewards given for various achievements achieved were a trigger to provide the best service.
Furthermore, Sutiaji also appreciated the achievements of the Regional Student Sports Week (POPDA) athletes from Malang City who have brought honor to the name of Malang City in this inter-student sports competition event throughout East Java.
"Only people who have achievements will never regret their future lives. Thank you, my children, for successfully occupying the top three, even with minimal budget. With minimal budget but achieving, that is a great person," he said.
Sutiaji said, although currently the field of sports is not one of the determining components in the assessment of education in Indonesia. However, the mayor hopes that the Malang City Education and Culture Office and Sports and Tourism Office can collaborate with KONI to develop the sports potential of students in schools.
"Friends who have talents and abilities to be developed in schools that have 'similarities'. So school A specializes in basketball, school B specializes in swimming, and so on. So that the community is well-built. The environment will help optimize the child's potential," he said.
In the POPDA event held in Sidoarjo on November 8-12, 2022, Malang City was ranked third with 19 gold, 16 silver, and 32 bronze medals with a total value of 140 points. Due to this achievement, the Malang City Government gave appreciation to the athletes by giving bonuses as motivation and stimulus to achieve more. The bonuses were symbolically given to Natalie Nazwa Murryawan who won the gold medal in swimming, Paradigma Aldy Nurahman who won the silver medal in chess, and Gelsey Edelyn Hessa Lucky who won the bronze medal in wrestling.
Meanwhile, for athletes in the VII Regional Student Paralympic Week (Peparpeda), symbolic bonuses were given to Lidya Azzahra, the gold medal winner in athletics, and Moh. Febrian Aditya Saputra, the bronze medal winner in athletics.
This morning's assembly was also combined with the presentation of the Minister of PAN RB Award in the Public Service Delivery Unit Competition and Complaint Management Competition to the Janti Health Center and Perumda Tugu Tirta. The Mayor of Malang together with the Deputy Mayor of Malang and the Regional Secretary also presented an award from the Ministry of PAN RB to the Malang City Population and Civil Registry Office as a public service provider unit in the excellent service category (grade A).
