First of all, I must applaud Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for his foresight. His call is indeed consistent with his first monthly address in the new year to staff of the Prime Minister’s Department, during which he instructed them to embrace the desire to bring about change in the government administrative machinery.
