CoRRuPtIoN “We continue to be very impressed with the building blocks for the anti-corruption infrastructure in Malaysia,” said Hershman, who is one of the founding members of Transparency International. “This is starting to pay dividends and will continue to pay dividends in coming years. I already see what I believe to be a slight change in the culture about how business ought to be conducted and this is particularly true of corporations here.” The panel is pleased to see a shift in emphasis from enforcement to prevention and education in GTP 2.0. The Fighting Corruption NKRA introduced the Education and Public Support workstream into its overall framework for the second horizon of the GTP, which will begin with anti-corruption education begun in schools and to all members of parliament. The Panel further noted the initiatives that will be taken in GTP 2.0 on strengthening the work done by MACC with the setting up of the Special Committee on Corruption to answer questions concerning MACC Annual Report and the Executive Review Committee. The proposed tracking of actions on findings in the Auditor General’s Report through an online dashboard is commendable. The publication of more than 6,600 government contracts online is encouraging and we would encourage this to be extended to other government commercial agreements, subject to commercial-in-confidence limitations. The IPR also made the following specific suggestions that they would like to see incorporated into the GTP going forward: ethics training for all public servants within Malaysia at both the federal and state level; greater action taken on political finance reform; the continued expansion of the e-procurement system through faster growth and the inclusion of higher cost contracts; the creation of an independent anticorruption prosecutor to complement the special corruption courts; appropriate oversight over intermediaries and special officers whom are often the progenitors of corruption; and promote the independence of the media and investigative reporting in the media. 198 Government transformation Programme—Annual Report 2012 IPR 199 Government transformation Programme—Annual Report 2012 IPR EDuCatIoN The IPR Panel was encouraged by the plans going forward under the EDU NKRA, and reserved special praise for its use of technology to broaden its reach to all students in Malaysia. They were, in particularly, happy with the plan to test all English teachers in Malaysia for language proficiency, the expansion of the LINUS programme to include English and the specific testing done for both literacy and numeracy. However, the Panel expressed concern about declining student outcomes in the benchmark Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMS). “The TIMS scores, which are beginning to decline and are not where we hoped they would be is something that you need to look at more deeply, to try and find the cause behind that,” said Michael Thatcher. He added that though there has been good use of technology and focus on technology to improve student results, he encouraged greater exploration of innovation to further increase capacity. “There has been an absolute tremendous use of technology and focus on technology towards solving some of the problems with regard to increasing reach, creating new opportunities and looking at how we can upskill some of the shortfalls with the teaching faculty and students,” he said. “One thing we encourage you to do is keep looking at new innovative approaches for development. For example, while the use of technology has become pervasive, using technology as an educational tool itself, should be made part of teachers training curriculum. The Skills needed for the 21st Century Workforce are different. It is essential to ensure that academic education is adapted to ensure that these skills are developed. Technology itself can be used to scale a transformational education.” CRImE The decline in the crime rate was a positive take-away for the IPR Panel, who was encouraged by the use of technology and data to direct limited police resources to areas that need it the most under the Hotspot Initiative. “You have a fundamentally larger police force hitting some of the key hotspot areas [and] this has been a very good initiative, which has allowed you to focus on specific areas,” he said. “One of the questions that came to us though was, ‘How do you analyse and respond to some of the root causes driving crime?’ and we think more investigation needs to be done there.” The question was raised in the earlier IPR panel discussions where the panel members and the NKRA team discussed catalysts of criminal activity, such as drug addiction, and their impact on crime numbers. The IPR Panel agreed that more needed to be done in the areas of prevention, such as getting drugs off the street. The other issue, the Panel reported, was the fact that public perception of crime continued to worsen despite the reduction in reported crime rates. More work needed to be done to identify and manage the issue, it added, including addressing the question of whether the indexing system used by the police force were adequately capturing the country’s criminal patterns. We understand that GTP 2.0 will be addressing this issue.
PovERty REDuCtIoN Both the Low-Income Households and Rural Basic Infrastructure NKRAs were commended on their efforts in reducing poverty in Malaysia, particularly due to their inclusive nature and ability to reach out to non-urban rakyat. The 1AZAM programmes are commendable initiatives to move more poor out of MOFP (move out from poverty) status. The IPR Panel reserved special praise for the 21st Century Village Programme, which is to be undertaken by the RBI NKRA in GTP 2.0. “We commend the efforts on including RBI to a broad range of communities,” Thatcher said. “The near elimination of extreme poverty in the country is very commendable. We were particularly drawn to the 21st CV programme as something which will allow today’s youth to have all the basic services and needs met in their villages without having to migrate into urban centres.” Other areas that were encouraging to the IPR Panel included the financial empowerment initiatives that were implemented to raise the average income of rural rakyat. The IPR Panel nonetheless advised the Government to take a more holistic approach with respect to poverty reduction. “We would caution however there needs to be a holistic approach to combat poverty,” Thatcher said. “[To look at] what the role of subsidies are, cash transfers, and how to target and condition them as well as looking at safety nets.” RESPONdING TO IPR 2011 The findings of the IPR Panel are taken into consideration in implementing of the GTP’s initiatives in the coming year. Some of the NKRAs which received specific feedback from the 2011 IPR Panel have documented how the suggestions from the previous year were adopted. Malaysia's education standards should be improved to international benchmarks such as those set by PISA and TIMMS. This should be one of the key targets in either the GTP or ETP. IPR 2011 FEEDBACK & ACTION TAKEN 200 Government transformation Programme—Annual Report 2012 IPR 201 Government transformation Programme—Annual Report 2012 IPR Action Taken There should be a bolder approach t o teacher training and development, helping produce high-calibre teaching staff for Malaysia’s primary and secondary schools. Action Taken While both GTP and ETP are relatively new programmes, this is an opportune time to see how both programmes can better be integrated. The aspirations of the GTP and ETP should be brought together to facilitate long-term planning and sustainability.
