KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak tonight tabled
an impressive "report card" from the implementation of the ambitious
national transformation programme which has benefited Malaysians from
all strata of society.
He said the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and the Economic
Transformation Programme which support Malaysia's vision to emerge as a
high-income advanced nation in its own mould is the prime goal and not
merely economic indicators.
"I believe the people not only can see, hear and evaluate what has been
implemented, but also feel the impact," he said when launching the
National Transformation Progamme Annual Report tonight.
"I would like to report to the people that with the coooperation and
the hardwork of all parties, be they the masses, the private sector,
civil servants and members of the administration, the bulk of the
planned objectives have been achieved," he said.
He said most of the objectives of the government's transformation
plans were achieved which led to an improvement in the people's living
standard, the economy growing well and the financial position of the
country to be very strong.
The Prime Minister said the planning and execution of the Economic
Transformation Programme (ETP) and Government Transformation Programme
(GTP) not only proved the determination of the government to steer the
country based on the "1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now" concept,
but were also the boldest experiments ever undertaken by any government
in the world in practising the principles of transparency and
accountability.
"GTP, ETP, NKRAs (National Key Result Areas), NKEAs (National Key
Economic Areas) and EPPs (Entry Point Projects), were all formulated to
improve the lives of all Malaysians in a structured manner.
"Furthermore, all these initiatives , none other than, are steps by the
government to enable each and every Malaysian to gain access to the
best that life can offer.
"Jobs with commensurate remuneration, the higher the skills and
expertise one possesses, the higher the remuneration," he said in his
speech in conjunction with the launching the National Transformation
Programme's 2012 Annual Report at Auditorium Perdana, Angkasapuri, here
tonight.
The speech was broadcast live by Radio-Television Malaysia (RTM).
The Prime Minister said the ETP and GTP were "very bold experiments"
ever implemented by any government in the world in practising the
principles of transparency and accountability besides proving the
government's commitment to the 1Malaysia philosophy -- People First,
Performance Now.
"In this respect, the country's success can be seen through the higher
per capita gross domestic product (GDP) from US$257 in 1957 to US$9,970
last year.
"This is nearly 4,000 per cent increase in more than five decades," said Najib, who is also Finance Minister.
Najib said the higher quality of life was clearly evident from the Household Income Survey figures.
The survey showed that average monthly household income in Malaysia has increased from RM4,025 in 2009 to RM5,000 last year.
"This showed a more than 1,200 per cent increase since the survey was conducted since 1974," he said. - BERNAMA
