PUTRAJAYA -- The new Malaysian Cabinet members get a morale boost
from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak at their first Cabinet
meeting today.
During the two-hour meeting, Najib also called on them to do their
level best in charging their duties and responsibilities to ensure
success of the national transformation agenda.
Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Rahman
Dahlan said Najib also asked them to serve all Malaysians, regardless of
race and religion.
"He wants us to remember that we are ministers for all races and that
we should not focus only on our constituencies," he said.
The Kota Belud member of Parliament said the prime minister also called on all Cabinet members to add value to their work.
Meanwhile, Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk
Hasan Malek said Najib clearly expected a high level of commitment from
his Cabinet to help him turn the country into a fully-developed nation
by 2020.
"It is his hope that we work with him towards achieving Vision 2020. No
more holidays, we must work for the people's wellbeing," he said.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Ewon Ebin, who is
also a new face in Najib's Cabinet, said he would prove his ability by
introducing several improvements in the ministry soon.
"I will do my best to make some improvements. We have been asked to do our best to serve the interest of the people," he said.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Datuk Paul Low Seng
Kwan said he would use his expertise and experience as former president
of Transparency International Malaysia to strengthen integrity and
eradicate corruption.
"Since I came from Transparency International Malaysia, my interest is
on the transformation to improve governance, integrity and, of course,
to eradicate corruption," he said. -- Bernama
