KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 (Bernama) -- Come Sunday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will share with all Malaysians the outcome of the Government Transformation Programme (GTP), following a year of implementation.
GTP director of communication Alex Iskandar Liew said the event, aptly dubbed 'Malam Transformasi Bersama Rakyat: Untukmu Malaysia' (Night of Transformation with the People: For you, Malaysia) will take place at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil at 6pm.
"There was a great deal of scepticism when the GTP was first introduced in January 2010, but the results from the various National Key Results Areas (NKRAs) in the 12 months last year have been very encouraging and shows that improvements in the public delivery system are on track.
"That said, there is still much to do and higher targets to meet in the interest of all Malaysians," he said in a statement here Wednesday.
Liew said the government had been pleasantly surprised that the NKRA targets had been achieved, and in some cases, the targets had even been surpassed.
"The civil service has been especially, instrumental in the transformation process and has contributed significantly to the success of the GTP, by way of its unwavering commitment to quality service delivery," he said.
Liew said through the GTP, Malaysia had seen a number of unprecedented achievements such as the reduction in overall reported crime for the first time in three years, the introduction of the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010, most number of roads ever built in a year, and improved public transportation ridership on the light rail transits (LRTs).
"The achievements also comprised 99.8 per cent reduction in the extreme poor households and the roll-out of 1,500 pre-school classes enabling over 700,000 pre-schoolers aged 4+ and 5+ to begin early education," he added.
He said moving forward, the government would continue to engage the rakyat to seek feedback on possible new focus areas for this year and beyond.
"This is especially important, as transformation is an on-going process, something that s dynamic in nature and requires teamwork
the government, the civil service and the rakyat
to achieve the stretched targets set," he said.
