Building Trust And Transparency: RoS Symposium Charts Path To A More Progressive Society

ALOR GAJAH, Oct 18 (Bernama) -- The 2025 Department of Registrar of Societies Malaysia (RoS) Symposium aims to strengthen the role of registered societies as a vital pillar in driving community and national development. 

In a statement, RoS's Corporate Communication Unit said the symposium, themed "Building Trust, Ensuring Transparency," is a strategic platform to steer registered societies towards a more inclusive, progressive and prosperous society.

It said the initiative aligns with the Malaysia MADANI aspiration while reinforcing the RoS's efforts to support the development of a sustainable, ethical and resilient civil society. 

“This initiative will create a space for leaders, government agencies, and experts from various fields to exchange views, share knowledge and experiences through forums and dialogue sessions.

“Furthermore, it will encourage strategic partnerships between societies and relevant government agencies to enhance the governance and effectiveness of registered organisations,” the statement read.

The two-day event, which commenced today, was officiated by the Minister of Home Affairs, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

The RoS also announced the launch of the Registry of Societies Electronic System (eROSES 2.0).

This upgraded system features AI technology, designed to improve service efficiency and marks a significant step in the RoS's digital transformation towards a more efficient, user-friendly and responsive ecosystem.

“It is hoped that this symposium will support the MADANI Unity Government’s agenda, which emphasises the importance of civil society development by empowering registered societies to act as strategic government partners and effective bridges.

“The goal of this initiative is to strengthen national unity, social development and societal inclusivity in the face of contemporary challenges,” the statement added.
