"The implementation should not just be as scheduled but also proceed smoothly and effectively," said Najib at the monthly assembly of the Prime Minister's Department here today.

In his first monthly address this year to the staffs of the department, Najib also called on civil servants to redouble their efforts to ensure the positive momentum of 2012 was maintained this year.

He also reminded civil servants to ensure the national transformation agenda: Government Transformation Programmes and Strategic Reform Initiatives, which have been effective to be given continuous focus.

"We cannot get carried away by our successful achievements in 2012 and became complacent.

"Instead we must double our efforts so that we can achieve better and bigger successes this year," said Najib.

Najib, who is also the Finance Minister, said the management and direction of the country's economy must be continued to ensure good growth.

He said the wealth derived from continuous economic growth and the distribution of it should be based on the principles of social justice and must be felt by the people.

Najib also said civil servants should ensure and help strengthen national unity and identity through the concept of 1Malaysia, adding it should be inclusive and ensure Malaysians from all walks of life benefit from it.

He added that civil servants should also continuously improve the government delivery system based on the aspects of "Quick, Accurate and Integrity" (Cepat, Tepat dan integriti).

Apart from that, Najib also reminded ministers and the respective ministries to ensure they achieve their Key Performance Indicators in full.
