Weak execution sabotages our national plans


Over the past 25 years of work exposure I have had in the area of public policy, I have noticed this stark reality: Malaysia has grand plans but our implementation is poor. Our drive to follow through is weak. We lack discipline once we have hatched our blueprints.

The four-step formula is simple. First, act on the strategic plan, monitor action, and report their results. Finally, after a determined period, re-visit the plan and re-align it if need be with the stated vision.
