It would be difficult for
anyone to improve on the
results of GTP 1.0, and I
am proud to report, in my
capacity as the Chairman of
the Delivery Task Force, that
we have accomplished almost
everything that we set out
to accomplish. Though there
is still a long road ahead of
us, I urge all of us to take
a moment to reflect on our
accomplishments and to
internalise the lessons that
we have learnt over the
last three years.
2012, in particular, was a gratifying year for
the Government Transformation Programme
(GTP) as the infrastructure and systems we put
in place in the first two years started to bear fruit.
Though the GTP is designed to work towards
Big Fast Results, some elements of the
programmes are still in the gestational phase
for reasons concerning such things as logistics
and construction times.
For example, the Urban Public Transport
National Key Result Area (UPT NKRA) put into
service their new six-car train sets for the KTM
Komuter network, which immediately reduced
wait times for trains during peak hours, easing
the frustrations of daily commuters.
GTP 2.0 aims to enhance and deepen the seeds of
change we have planted over the last three years,
and I, for one, am eagerly looking forward to see
how our country will mature and grow.
The Low-Income Household NKRA (LIH NKRA),
which works towards empowering poorer
Malaysians by instilling within them a need for
financial independence, also saw results from
initiatives implemented in the first two years
of the GTP. Through these efforts, an
unprecendented number of poor rakyat moved
into their own homes through the NKRA’s
low-cost housing programmes, as well as the
creation of an unprecedented number of women
entrepreneurs.
My fellow Malaysians—let me also assure
you that the work that we have done so far is
meant for all rakyat regardless of race, religion
or cultural background. We are transforming the
Government because we, like most Malaysians,
realise that it has not done enough to ensure our
position among the top nations in the world by
2020.
For the past three years, the rakyat has heard
us say that the GTP was still in its developmental
stages—that its work represents building blocks
to assure a foundation that can support the
innovations that we have in mind. Because
most of the work was foundational, most of
the changes occurred behind the scenes, but an
excellent job has been done of ensuring that the
results were transparent.
Let me add to that by saying that we are
done with laying down the foundation; in other
words, the rakyat can expect to see more visible
transformations undertaken over the next
three years. The various NKRA teams will be
intensifying their engagement with the rakyat on
all levels—from issues of crime and security to
greater measures in combating the rising cost
of living—as well as making sweeping changes
to Government processes such as the reporting
of the Auditor General’s Report.
GTP 2.0 aims to enhance and deepen the
seeds of change we planted over the last three
years, and I, for one, am eagerly looking forward
to see how our country will mature and grow.
There no doubt will be teething issues, which
accompany all change especially at the ground
level, and I trust that the rakyat will continue
to lend us the support we need to ensure the
various initiatives come to fruition.
