Acronyms

Currently, the country is flooded with acronyms. Civil servants especially are required to know the meaning of these acronyms if not at least to pass their PTK exams. Among the major acronyms are NEM, SRIs, GTP, ETP, NKRA, NKEA, EPP and BOs. These acronyms were created by NEAC and PEMANDU. I'm not sure how many Malaysian understand the link between all these acronyms and the development objectives and the inter-link among these acronyms. Some are confused, some try hard to memorize these acronyms and others couldn't be bothered.

Its not the acronym that is important but the objectives of all these initiatives. Ultimately whether this nation is going to achieve the target of a developed and high income economy and the rakyat benefits together with the prosperity of the nation. The uphill task is to change the mind set of each individuals to accept the transformation and changes that is taking place. Undivided support from civil service, private sector, NGOs and the rakyat are needed. Sounds like a politician talking.

But in reality whether you like it or not, we must accept that the initiatives being undertaken are for the benefit of the people and the nation.
