Jabatan Bendahari Negeri Sabah

What Jabatan Bendahari Negeri Sabah does

Jabatan Bendahari Negeri Sabah (JBNS) is the State Treasury Department of the Sabah State Government in Malaysia, headquartered in Menara Kinabalu, Kota Kinabalu. It is a statutory government entity established under the Perlembagaan Persekutuan and state financial regulations, with exclusive constitutional authority over Sabah's state financial management, payment processing, salary disbursement, treasury operations, and financial reporting. The department serves all Sabah State Government agencies and civil servants as its sole end-customers; it does not operate a commercial revenue model and is funded through the Sabah State Government budget. It maintains nine district branch offices across Ranau, Kota Belud, Kota Marudu, Kudat, Beaufort, Keningau, Tawau, and Sandakan to deliver treasury services at the district level, and submits annual Penyata Kewangan (State Financial Statements) to the federal Jabatan Audit Negara.

JBNS operates a portfolio of fourteen interconnected electronic government systems built on the sabah.gov.my infrastructure, covering core treasury, payment authorization, HR, and administrative functions. Core systems include e-KUASA (digital signature and debit warrant processing), S3P integrating SISVOT, Central Code and Paycentre (consolidated treasury operations), e-Resit (electronic receipts), e-PAY A3 (payment processing), SUH (daily wage processing), and e-KONTRAK (contract management). Employee-facing systems include e-Slip Gaji (electronic salary slips), e-Cuti (leave), e-Pergerakan (movement tracking), e-Prestasi (performance evaluation), and Sistem i-Adu (complaint and integrity reporting). Distribution of services is direct: headquarters in Kota Kinabalu, nine district branch offices, and internal electronic systems for state employees. The department's go-to-market is internal government communication (official website, e-Pekeliling circulars, media gallery) rather than commercial marketing.

The department is led by Bendahari Negeri Sabah Datin Mary Angela Sipaun, supported by Timbalan Bendahari Negeri (Pentadbiran) Putera Jali, Timbalan Bendahari Negeri (Operasi) Haji Awang Herman bin Awang Tahir, and divisional heads. Strategic engagements include professional certification partnerships (AMC University College for CIMA in 2022; CPA Australia engagement in 2025), CSR collaborations with Borneo Development Corporation and Perbadanan Pinjaman Sabah, banking relationships with Alliance Bank, Affin Bank, Bank Rakyat, and Bank Muamalat, and academic engagement with Universiti Malaysia Sabah. The department holds the Inspektorat Anugerah Khas Keselamatan Perlindungan from the federal Chief Government Security Officer (2023) and runs an internal annual Majlis Apresiasi Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang.
