GTP and the Driver's (PEMANDU) Driver!

The 1Malaysia Government Transformation Programme (GTP) Roadmap will be launched at the end of next month.

Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) will 'release' the roadmap on Pemandu's website after getting feedback from the public on new ideas or conditions that the government was not aware of.... or 'blur' with!

Over 7,000 nationwide activities along with over 2,000 projects and 100 programmes identified for the six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) are being showcased to the public at the GTP Open Day at the Sunway Convention Centre. The 1st day was dedicated ONLY to 'invited' NGOs and guest and the 2nd day for Rakyat!

I went for the 1st day as a 'gate crasher' and the 2nd day as an 'observer'.

First of all i dont undertand why the driver's driver or the CEO of PEMANDU descriminate the Rakyat by having the 'special' invitation NGOs and guest on the first day and the 'normal' public on the second day! i mean here we are on the spirit of 1 Malaysia and opennes bla bla bla and the first thing u do is to seperate the days by the invited guest and the tom dick and harry of malaysia!

There was a lot of public walk-ins anyways as there was no restrictions to enter the hall! so whats the point of having 2 seperate invitations where they should have simply a 2 Open day event for rakyat!

Back to the 1st day:
I was 'wearing two hats' that day... one: activist mindset for the elderly and the physically challenge community (Malaysian gov like to labeled them as OKU).... two:activist mindset to combat crime!

After a big launch done by a few VIPs (including ofcourse the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department and Chairman of pemandu, Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon; Chief Executive Officer of the Pemandu Board, Datuk Seri Idris Jala, and former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) i met the CEO and express my dissapointments to what have been missed by the think tank of the GTP.... there is no main agenda to make this country a dissabled friendly nation. ie the transportation masterplan did not include for malaysian public transport to be dissabled friendly and yet more 'so call smart card system' is being proposed, etc..

Of coz the think tank of GTP will defend by saying that the plan today may have certain imperfections which will need amendments.... BUT my point is that to CARE for the elderly and the physically challenge community is not a rocket science for it not to be included and displayed on the first place!

2nd day:
I saw lots of bloggers, media and general public were there and nice of the CEO to give unexpected impromtu speech. I might say it was good and full of sincerity in his face!

But one thing for sure ... sincerity and good intention alone without a good master plan and a good implementation process is just simply an empty hope!

So lets work together to make Malaysia the best country for our own sake!
