Government Transformation Plan (GTP) Objective:

•Catapulting Malaysia into an advanced, united, safe and just society with a high quality of life for all.

•The PM has earlier announced the 6 NKRAs and NKPIs

NKRA indicated in numbers while NKPI is in bullets

1.Widening access to quality education

•Ensuring people are able to read, write and count when they enter year 4, 2012

•About 1350 new pre-school opened with an estimated 27000 new student by 2010

2.Combating corruption

•Ministers no longer to sign “support letter" Disclosure of planned and awarded contracts at Ministries’ web portals

3.Reducing crime

•Reducing street crime by 20% by 2010

•Additional 1000 violent crime offenders to be brought to trial by Dec 2010

4.Upgrading low income households

•To reduce the incidence of poverty from 3.8% to 2.8% by 2010

•50% increase in house ownership/rental among rakyat with monthly household income below RM 2500 by 2012

5.Upgrading rural basic infrastructure

•Over 7000km of new and upgrade roads out of which 510km will be done by 2010

•360,000 houses to be connected to clear or treated water, 78760 houses by 2010

•50,000 new or restored houses to the poor and hardcore poor, 16,626 houses by 2010

•Increasing the number of public transport users from the current 16% to 25% by end 2012

•Adding 35 sets of four car trains to operate on the Kelana Jaya LRT track by end 2012

The government has drawn a very ambitious plan. While skeptics are not overall convinced of the grand plan, the man behind PEMANDU, Dato Seri Idris Jala, a turnaround manager at Shell Malaysia and move recently Malaysian Airlines, has a reputation for delivery, hence there is a chance for breakthrough. Yet again this is a chance for PM, YAB Dato Seri Najib to deliver his promises made at 100 days of his office. The GTP is a pre-cursor to GE 13 and if the Government could show some success it has the rakyat’s support. Let’s give PEMANDU and the Government a chance to prove itself.

Kenyataan dato seri samy mengenai penjara simpang renggam bukan mempolitikan isu tersebut

Kenyataan akhbar Presiden MIC, YBhg Dato Seri S. Samy Vellu semalam mengenai penutupan penjara simpang renggam, johor haruslah di beri perhatian serius oleh Menteri Dalam Negeri, YB Dato Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein.

kenyataan ini bukanlah bertujuan mempolitikkan isu tersebut malah ianya suatu kenyattan fakta setelah melihat banyak belia yang masuk dalam penjara tersebut tidak mendapat bimbingan untuk mengubah hidup mereka.

Baru- baru ini Pemuda MIC bersama PDRM telah mengadakan suatu seminar pencegahan gejala social dan antara mereka yang berucap adalah mereka mereka yang telah melalui liku liku hidup di Simpang Renggam. Rata-rata mereka berpendapat suasa disana tidak memberi peluang kepada banduan untuk berubah.

Melihat kepada statistik gejala sosial yang kian meningkat, maka kenyataan dato seri samy kena pada tempatnya. Jika cara sekarang tidak dapat membawa prubahan maka ianya haruslah dikaji dengan terperinci oleh Menteri Dalam Negeri, Dato Seri Hisham berlandasan NKRA yang telah ditetapkan.

Utusan Malaysia Pejuang 1 Malaysia ?

Tindakan wartawan Utusan Malaysia Zaini Hassan dalam membangkitkan isu orang india Malaysia dan orang India dari India dalam tajuk artikelnya "Alkisah India diIndia dan India di Msia " dimana beliau menyifatkan kaum India kononnya kecoh sungguh menakjubkan. Entah dari mana beliau dapat istilah "kecoh" dan pengunaan istilah "keling" berhubung dengan kaum india membuat masyarakat india membara. Lebih lebih lagi sebuah akhbar tempatan yang memperjuangkan kerajaan pimpinan UMNO membuat sebuah liputan akhbar seumpama ini.

Walaupun YAB Perdana Menteri, Dato Seri Najib berusaha menyatukan masyarakat negara majmuk, jelas kelihatan ada setengah- setengah pihak yang berfikiran sempit dan tidak sekata dan seiring dengan konsep Satu Malaysia yang disarankan PM. Ke mana perginya Rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian di utamakan?

Utusan malaysia sering kali membangkitkan isu isu perkauman yang boleh menganggu ketenteraman awam. Bila Tamil Nesan membangkitkan sesuatu isu berkenaan kaum india mereka diberi surat tunjuk sebab oleh KDN. Akankah tindakan seumpama itu akan diambil oleh KDN terhadap Utusan atau Zaini? Menteri KDN haruslah mengambil tindakan yang adil dan saksama supaya semua akhbar tempatan diberi peluang yang sama dan tiada pilih kasih.

Train & Place programme in Melaka & PD









I did the closing for the Train and Place programme sponsored by the Ministry of Human Resource at Port Dickson on 2 dec 2009. This programme was for IT Office Administrators and IT Technicians. over 80 students (40 in PD) and another 40 in Malacca completed their one month course and they are currently being employed.

This training was conducted by Beam Advisory and Consultancy Services Sdn Bhd, an approved Training Provider approved by Human Resource Ministry. The students enjoyed their training where they were taught various IT skills and they are enjoyed the company of their fellow colleagues.

The HR Ministry's noble plan to train unemployed youth and subsequently place them is indeed a laudlable move. Bravo Datuk Dr Subra.
