SYNOPSIS   

Effective asset management is a fundamental component of public sector governance and financial sustainability. The Government of Malaysia places strong emphasis on the systematic management of assets due to the substantial national investments allocated toward infrastructure development and public facilities. Accordingly, a comprehensive, integrated, and strategic asset management approach is essential to support continuous improvement in public service delivery.

Government assets represent significant national investments that must be managed efficiently, responsibly, and sustainably. Ineffective asset management practices may lead to increased operational costs, deterioration of asset performance, reduced service quality, safety risks, reputational damage, and declining user satisfaction.

Government assets generally comprise the following categories:

1. Immovable Assets
2. Movable Assets
3. Inventory and Stock Assets
4. Intangible Assets
5. Biological Assets

Efficient asset management enables the government to optimise expenditure, enhance operational performance, and maximise return on investment in alignment with the Government Asset Management Policy (DPAK), Total Asset Management Manual (MPAM), Government Immovable Asset Management Procedures (TPATA), and related Treasury Circulars issued by the Ministry of Finance Malaysia.

This course highlights the importance of competent asset and facility management practices in ensuring sustainable building operations and maintenance. Particular emphasis is given to immovable asset management, which plays a critical role in providing safe, functional, and efficient workplace environments that support effective public service delivery.

The programme also focuses on improving operational efficiency, extending asset life cycles, strengthening maintenance planning, optimising resource utilisation, and enhancing performance measurement practices to ensure greater value creation from government assets.


COURSE OBJECTIVE

1. Introduction to Government Building Maintenance Management

This module introduces the principles and strategic importance of Government Building Maintenance Management within the framework of immovable asset management.
