Najib: Govt policies are good but implementation needs improvement

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today acknowledged that while government policies in place were good, its implementation was still weak.

Speaking at the closing of the Jati Diri seminar for ‘penghulu’ (village heads) here today, Najib said it was due to weak implementation that the government’s aims for the people could not be properly fulfilled.

“Policies are already well in place but its implementation is weak.

“The government’s efforts for the betterment of the people does not reach them the way it should,” he said today.

Najib added that the penghulu, as those closest to the people, must relay the sentiments on the ground to the government.

This, he added, was to enable the government to formulate better suited policies, according to the wants and needs of the people.

In his speech, Najib also said that he was confident that the ringgit would bounce back and that its fall was due to outside speculation and uncertainty in the United States’ politics.

“Since my visit to China, in three months, the price of crude palm oil increased from RM2,300 per tonne to RM3,002 per tonne today.

“I am confident that the ringgit, too, will bounce back.”-nst
