About Us

The Alumni Association of the Administrative and Diplomatic Officers (PTD Alumni) was registered on 19 April 1989 (892/89 Wilayah Persekutuan) as an association for retired Administrative and Diplomatic Service officers. Its first Annual General Meeting was held on 5 March 1991 when the late Tan Sri (now Tun) Abdullah bin Mohd. Salleh was elected as its President. In 1997, Tan Sri Sallehuddin bin Mohamed was elected as the second President of the PTD Alumni. He remains the current President of the Association.

The objectives of the PTD Alumni, as specified in its Constitution, are as follows:

1. to assist efforts of the government to strengthen the relationship between the Public and the Private Sectors;
2. to assist in the implementation and achievement of government policies through holding of active forums for that purpose;
3. to contribute views and opinions as well as other skills considered necessary to the government and other parties;
4. to assist members to become active in the economic and social spheres of the nation;
5. to strengthen networking among members for mutual benefits particularly in economic matters and social welfare

The emblem of the Association consists of two tigers rampant holding a shield on which the words PTD ALUMNI are inscribed, in the like form of the emblem of the Government of Malaysia, to denote the past association of members with the Government as members of its civil service. The two tigers stand on a red ribbon inscribed with the name of the Association in Malay, i.e. Persatuan Alumni Pengawai Tadbir dan Diplomatic (Administrative and Diplomatic Officers Alumni Association). All these are enclosed in a shield which depicts unity and single-minded purpose.
