We made strong strides forward on all fronts and not only achieved, but in some cases exceeded, the stretched GTP targets and milestones. All in all, 2011 was the year the government machinery sustained its momentum, running harder, faster and better to deliver real results to our key stakeholders – the people of Malaysia. On behalf of the Malaysian government, it is my privilege and honour to share the second Annual Report of the GTP with you. Upon the GTP’s launch in 2010, the government promised improved service delivery and a new landscape of sustainable Big Fast Results to the Malaysian people or the rakyat. We resolved that if Malaysia was to build strong foundations and pursue its ambition of becoming a high-income nation by 2020, the government had to deliver transformational change first. In the GTP’s inaugural year, each of the initial six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) – Reducing Crime, Fighting Corruption, Improving Student Outcomes, Raising Living Standards of Low-Income Households, Improving Rural Basic Infrastructure and Improving Urban Public Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak Transport – delivered significant results. We overcame Prime Minister, Malaysia great challenges, set new performance benchmarks and delivered positive life-changing outcomes for the rakyat. An independent panel of international experts, providing an outside-in view of our progress, regarded the GTP as delivering amazing results and driving real transformation for real people. Spurred on by 2010’s achievements, we were determined not to let up the pace in 2011, but to set higher goals and deliver consistent and better results. We introduced a seventh NKRA to address an issue close to the hearts of the people – that of Addressing the Rising Cost of Living. Government Transformation Programme l Annual Report 2011 003 Making Strong Strides Forward I am both delighted and humbled the key lessons learnt, and our recognise the fact that the journey has to report that the GTP has once plans going forward to safeguard only just begun.

As such, we set ourselves bigger goals, higher targets and faster delivery schedules. To facilitate these stretched targets and achieve stronger outcomes in 2011, we capitalised on the strong momentum gained in the preceding year as well as ramped up the government machinery to work at full speed. As such, 2011 saw the government machinery maintaining an unyielding focus on its goals. Various new measures and initiatives were adopted and constant refinement of processes enabled the various NKRA teams and the government as a whole to stay the course. By the year’s end, we had successfully reached our 2011 milestones. This is something that we can all be proud of. However, we must constantly remind ourselves that the race we run is not a sprint, but a marathon. We still have nine more years to go until 2020 before we reach the finishing line. Our job is to keep this good momentum going and we will accomplish this through a clear leadership focus. Overall, the year in review saw us delivering another round Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Muhyiddin bin Mohd Yassin of big wins. Each NKRA made significant progress and Deputy Prime Minister, Malaysia delivered tangible outcomes in the areas that mattered most to the rakyat. In July 2011, a seventh NKRA – Addressing the Rising Cost of Living – was introduced to help ease the people’s burden and enable them to better cope with the rising cost of living. Government Transformation Programme l Annual Report 2011 005 Continuing to Run the Race Well The aim of this newest NKRA is The GTP continues to enhance the rakyat, will continue to lend us simply to provide immediate relief to the lives of millions in our nation. their full support. Rest assured that the rakyat through quick measures, It is proof that when you challenge the government is determined to while formulating long-term strategies yourself, great things are possible. overcome all obstacles and drive to address the rising cost of living. Perhaps even more telling, is that greater positive change for our nation Even prior to the roll out of this the results speak about what is and its people.

A survey of 200 respondents in the Song district was conducted. To determine the objective eth- nolinguistic vitality, a structural analysis was performed on their sociolinguistic backgrounds. The results show the Iban language dominates in family, friend- ship, transactions, religious, employment, and education domains. The language use patterns show functional differentiation into the Iban language as the “low language” and Malay as the “high language”. The respondents have positive at- titudes towards the Iban language. The dimensions of language attitudes that are strongly positive are use of the Iban language, Iban identity, and intergenera- tional transmission of the Iban language. The marginally positive dimensions are instrumental use of the Iban language, social status of Iban speakers, and prestige value of the Iban language. Inferential statistical tests show that language atti- tudes are influenced by education level. However, language attitudes and useof the Iban language are not significantly correlated. By viewing language use and attitudes from the perspective of ethnolinguistic vitality, this study has revealed that a numerically dominant group assumed to be safe from language shift has only medium vitality, based on both objective and subjective evaluation.

  • On Routes of Smart Bus in Kajang, Selangor
    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 18 ISSUE 3 (2020), Page 241 – 250 EVALUATION OF LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) ON ROUTES OF SMART BUS IN KAJANG, SELANGOR Nur Shazreena Mat Shukri1, Zakiah Ponrahono2, Yakin Nur Sunoto3, & Wan Noratikah Wahidah Wan Ghazali4 1,2,3,4 Department of Environment Faculty of Forestry and Environment UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA Abstract Level of service (LOS) is a method used for the development of transportation infrastructure designations based on a specific analysis. The concept of LOS lies on the importance of an assessment of roadway operational performance services for the improvement of bus service delivery. A high performance of bus service delivery could relatively influence the satisfaction level of its users. This study assesses the LOS of three main designated routes of SMART buses in Kajang Selangor (KJ01, KJ02, and KJ03). The SMART buses are free buses provided under a free transit programme which aims to encourage people to use public transportation. An on-board survey and inventory observation were employed to collect the data. Findings indicate that KJ01, KJ02, and KJ03 fall under the category of LOS D considering the attributes of service frequency, service hours, passenger load/thresholds, and speed of bus. The discovery may serve as a useful guidance for the development of a comprehensive plan for LOS to be coordinated in improving the service quality of bus transportation. Keywords: Level of service (LOS), public transport, free bus 1 Student at Universiti Putra Malaysia.

  • The Perception of Planning Stakeholders in the Implementation of Kajang Municipal Council Local Plan 2020 with Reference to Public Facilities Sector
    THE PERCEPTION OF PLANNING STAKEHOLDERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF KAJANG MUNICIPAL COUNCIL LOCAL PLAN 2020 WITH REFERENCE TO PUBLIC FACILITIES SECTOR BY NUR AULIA BT ROSNI A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science (Built Environment) Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design International Islamic University Malaysia JULY 2015 ABSTRACT The study examines the implementation of the Kajang Municipal Council Local Plan 2020 with reference to public facilities sector. Local plan is the document containing policies that guide the way of development planning and Local governance. It is the lowest tier of administrative authority as required by the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 172) and Local Government Act 1976 (Act 171). It forms the basis of the development plan of a locality in Malaysia. However, the efficiency of its implementation is questioned by those who have an interest in the planning practice, namely the stakeholders. The public facilities sector was chosen as the research subject, because it has been regarded by the Federal Department of Town and Country Planning Peninsular Malaysia as one of the most important indicators of sustainable development. The planning principles for public facilities provision has been categorized into four scopes, namely (i) Availability, (ii) Quantity, (iii) Location, and (iv) Condition. Data collection was conducted in three main settlement areas within Mukim Kajang - Kajang Town, Bangi Town and Bandar Baru Bangi. The research methods comprised of field survey, observation and document analysis, wherein all the data were analysed using SPSS software. The key findings of this study include (i) Lack of Stakeholders Involvement in Decision Making Process, (ii) Lack of Awareness among the Local Community, (iii) Issues in Public Facilities Monitoring and Maintenance, and (iv) Inability to implement the Public Facilities.

  • Race for Selangor's Rice Belt Heats up Malaysiakini.Com April 01, 2012 by Nigel Aw
    Race for Selangor's rice belt heats up MalaysiaKini.com April 01, 2012 By Nigel Aw Visitors to north-western Selangor would normally expect to be treated to sights of its lush green paddy fields, flickering fireflies or perhaps, warily, a crossing cow or two. But last Sunday, the sleepy town of Kuala Selangor was unusually active, as the town's stadium played host to carnival which saw some 70,000 visitors from sunrise to sunset. pakatan ceramah in kuala selangorThe event, organised in conjunction with the fourth anniversary of the Pakatan Rakyat’s rule in Selangor, was intended to thank the locals for their support. While the urban crowd would have to be content with “thank you” billboards, the extravagance of the Kuala Selangor event suggests a serious attempt by Pakatan to make inroads into the north western 'rice belt', traditionally a BN bastion. This area covers the district of Sabak Bernam and Kuala Selangor, famed for its paddy production and seafood. It consists of nine state seats, six of which are held by BN. In order from North to South, they are Sungai Ayer Tawar (BN), Sabak (BN), Sungai Panjang (BN), Sekinchan (DAP) Sungai Burong (BN) , Permatang (BN), Bukit Melawati (PKR), Ijok (PKR) and Jeram (BN). Pakatan the underdogs Acknowledging that there was an ongoing Pakatan onslaught, Sungai Burong state assemblyperson Mohd Shamsudin Lias is confident in maintaining BN's foothold.
