Ministry Of Rural
And Regional Development
Two years back the on the 28 January 2010, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak
unveiled a programme known as the Government Transformation Programme (GTP).The
main objective is to contribute in making the country a developed and
high-income nation as similar in Vision 2020.The Government Transformation
Programme (GTP) is an effort by Malaysia's current Government mainly in seven
key areas concerning the people of the country.One of it is improving rural
basic infrastructure. 35% of the Malaysian population live in
rural areas with minimal access to proper roads, water and electricity supply.
In my opinion , more effort is put to make longer roads,more houses ,better
electricity supply and filtered water supplied to all houses. Instead of
building 11 times as many kilometres of road which was done during GTP
Programme,22 times as many kilometres of road should be made in the rural
area. These elements are basic human
rights and should be accessible to all Malaysians regardless of location and
economic background. Rural Economy Funding Scheme(SPED) was implemented by the
government for economy empowerment purposes. The main objective for this scheme
is to increase the number of rural Bumiputera entrepreneurs in all dynamic and legal
economic areas and provide funds for Bumiputera entrepreneurs only. Since we
have the “1 MALAYSIA” concept, every citizen should obtain equal rights
including funds for entrepreneurs in rural area.By this method, the living
standards of all citizens of Malaysia will rise not just the Bumiputeras.However,
the ministry
will be implementing the Sustainable Rural Program which is one of the main
programs under the 21st Century Rural Program which will be implemented from
2013 to 2015.Thus,more such programmes must be implemented so there is a
radical change for the development of rural economy in order for Malaysia to
achieve high-income status.
Addressing sustainable development issues in rural areas and advancement
that will take place.

Well I totally agree to your opinion where more effort should be put into meeting the basic needs of the citizens such as building more houses, supplying clean and sufficient water and of course having proper roads. I would like to make one extra suggestion that is the government should focus and put in more effort on accelerating agricultural modernization. To achieve this the spreading of scientific and technological education is necessary especially among the farmers and the people who are involved actively in agriculture activities.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed.The suggestion you gave will hopefully develop our country even more especially by the younger generation.Thank you very much for your suggestion,Love Royce.
