KUCHING – A file migration workshop organised by the Sarawak Federal Secretary’s Office took place on 16 March 2026 at the Simpor Meeting Room in the Sultan Iskandar Building, Kuching. The programme focused on improving record management practices and strengthening administrative efficiency.
The session was led by Afham Jauhari bin Aldi and Muhammad bin Amat Paijo from the National Archives of Malaysia. They guided participants through the procedures involved in file migration and systematic record organisation.
Participants learned how to prepare, arrange, and transfer official records according to the standards set by the National Archives of Malaysia. The training aimed to ensure government departments manage documents in a structured and consistent manner.
The workshop also introduced digital tools used in record migration. These systems support better document tracking while helping departments maintain compliance with national record-keeping guidelines. The approach reduces the risk of misplaced or poorly managed files.
Officials explained that proper record management supports efficient public service delivery. Well-organised files allow faster access to information, smoother workflows, and stronger institutional memory within government agencies.
The programme also reflects the government’s wider push for administrative digitalisation and modernisation. By improving staff skills in records management, the initiative helps the Sarawak Federal Secretary’s Office stay aligned with national best practices.
Participants expressed confidence that the training would help them apply more systematic methods in their daily duties. The workshop also sets the stage for future initiatives aimed at strengthening record management across federal offices in Sarawak.
