ETP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
A Note from the Deputy Prime Minister
I am delighted that we have made good progress in delivering
social development and economic growth in 2011 under the
complementary Government Transformation Programme
and Economic Transformation Programme
4
When we launched these two transformation programmes
in 2010, we were clear that we needed both to achieve our
Vision 2020 goal of becoming a high income nation with
inclusiveness and sustainability.
Our efforts are bearing fruits. I see them in the reduction
of crime rates, the improvement in literacy and education,
and in the urban transport work that we are doing. I see
people’s lives being changed. For instance, under the rural
basic infrastructure project, we built 1,780.1 kilometres
of roads and we gave 108,679 houses clean and treated
water–impacting the lives of some three million Malaysians,
a million more than we had in 2010.
We are touching people’s lives in areas that matter most
to them. And we continue to be responsive to the rakyat’s
needs. In July 2011, in response to the public’s feedback,
we launched a new focus area – Cost of Living – to ensure
that we meet the needs of those who are most vulnerable
economically.
With this in mind, we have committed more resources to
development. In the 2012 Budget, Prime Minister Dato’ Sri
Najib Tun Razak announced an allocation of RM232.8 billion
on plans focussing on the well-being of the rakyat.
The results in improving public service delivery and
liveability also complement the ETP in attracting foreign
investments. According to the AT Kearney 2011 FDI
Confidence Index, inflows rose 537 per cent to US$9
billion in 2010 from the previous year. They reported that
this number will be surpassed in 2011 and, based on the
sentiments reflected in the index, it is likely to continue in
this positive direction in 2012.
