Deputy Dean (Academic) Message

Ms. Mardziah Hanim Mahazir

Deputy Dean
Tun Ahmad Sarji School of Government and Public Services (TASSGPS)

The name Tun Ahmad Sarji School of Government and Public Services (TASSGPS) has a particular meaning to me. As a student of development and governance, I often came across the unique history of development in Malaysia. Having dwelled deeper it the legacy of the Tun Ahmad Sarji period started to become clear to me.

Tun Ahmad Sarji was a true statesman; his leadership style and his focus on nation-building through economic development laid the foundation for Malaysia we know today. On a more technical level, as a policy analyst, I find Tun Ahmad Sarji’s approach to economic development inspiring. Instead of working within a particular economic perspective, he took what is known as a heterodox approach to economics. This resulted in economic policies – particularly those regarding rural development, poverty reduction and economic equality – that have truly stood the test of time.

Through his focus on nation-building and integration, Tun Ahmad Sarji emphasised policy development that would strengthen national ties and build bridges between urban and rural life. He focused on finding policy solutions that would work for the whole country.

At the Tun Ahmad Sarji School of Government and Public Services (TASSGPS), we are guided by the enduring legacy of Tun Ahmad Sarji, a remarkable statesman whose leadership and commitment to nation-building through economic development laid much of the foundation for the Malaysia we know today. From a more technical perspective, and as a policy analyst, his approach to economic development remains deeply compelling. Rather than adhering to a single economic school of thought, Tun Ahmad Sarji adopted a heterodox approach, resulting in economic policies—particularly in the areas of rural development, poverty alleviation, and economic equity—that have proven both resilient and enduring.

Through his strong emphasis on nation-building and social integration, Tun Ahmad Sarji championed policy development aimed at strengthening national cohesion and bridging the divide between urban and rural communities. His focus was consistently on identifying policy solutions that would serve the nation as a whole.

At TASSGPS, we take pride in carrying forward Tun Ahmad Sarji’s legacy. Across all our academic offerings, we embed the principles and values that defined this pivotal period in Malaysia’s political and economic history.5

Our Economics programme is designed to promote sound economic policymaking that benefits the nation at large. The Governance and Public Policy programme focuses on issues of good governance and examines how the policy process can advance nation-building and integrity. The Public Management programme emphasises effective public administration, institutional capacity, and service delivery. In addition, the Diploma in Social Work programme equips students with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to support vulnerable communities and contribute meaningfully to social development.

As Deputy Dean (Academic) of TASSGPS, it is a source of great pride to witness our students’ achievements in embodying Tun Ahmad Sarji’s legacy. Beyond notable academic accomplishments—including the distinction of producing TWO (2) Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (UGRAD) scholars—our students have gone on to excel in both public and private sector employment.

Thank you.
