MALAYSIAN PM TO UNVEIL GOVERNMENT TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME ROADMAP JAN 28
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 27 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak
will roll out Thursday the landmark blueprint to transform the government's
delivery system to the people (rakyat) in line with his administration's
"1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now" policy.
The Government Transformation Programme (GTP) Roadmap is a major milestone
in the nation's journey towards Vision 2020 to achieve the developed country
status.
Najib had introduced the 1Malaysia concept and GTP in April last year, the
same month he took office, and six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) were
announced to address the main concerns of the people.
The NKRAs are crime reduction, combating corruption, improving education,
raising the living standards of low-income households, upgrading rural basic
infrastructure and improving urban public transport.
The GTP roadmap is expected to flesh out the objectives and mechanisms to
achieve set targets after getting feedbacks from the public last month.
Open days on the GTP were held in Petaling Jaya, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu
for the people to scrutinise and give their views on over 2,000 projects and 100
programmes.
The public sessions reflected the greater transparency on the part of the
government to engage the people in mapping the way forward.
In a televised interview this week, the Prime Minister said the government
would emphasise on speed to deliver the peoples' expectation because if the
country lagged behind, it would erode the people's confidence.
"For 2010, I will stress on speedy decisions, quick implementation without
sacrificing quality. This means we will stress on making fast and accurate
decisions as it will be used as a yardstick to measure the country's
competitiveness in the frontline," he said.
The Prime Minister, who has embarked on moving Malaysia from an upper middle
income economy to high income economy by 2020, is spearheading the GTP himself.
Ministers in the Prime Minister's Department, Dr Koh Tsu Koon, who
is in charge of National Unity and Performance Management, and Idris
Jala, are responsible for the overall execution of the policy and strategy.
Idris is also the chief executive officer of the Performance Management and
Delivery Unit (Pemandu) which oversees the implementation of the Key Performance
Index (KPI) in the ministries, an integral part of the NKRAs.
Koh said Tuesday the government was seriously looking at adopting the reward
and punishment system under the GTP for the civil service as the programme
entered its first year of implementation.
"However, in our first two years of implementation, our emphasis is on how
to encourage and support everyone to perform, rather than to start on
punishment...it is far more important at this stage," he said.
To boost productivity and inculcate better work ethics, the government was
mulling over a 'carrot-and-stick' system for the 1.2 million strong civil
workforce.
He said it was timely that civil servants be assessed and rewarded based on
their individual performance.
The six lead ministries for the NKRAs are Home Affairs Ministry, Prime
Minister's Department, Education Ministry, Women, Family and Community
Development Ministry, Rural and Regional Development Ministry and Transport
Ministry.
