The objective of the workshop is to help the government
improve the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and Government
Transformation Programme (GTP), introduced by our Prime Minister Dato Seri
Najib Razak in 2010.
In this 3-day workshop, we were split into 15 groups. Each
group was in charge of one National Key Result Area (NKRA) or National Key
Economic Area (NKEA). I was chosen to lead Group 12 to come out with a proposal
to improve one of the NKRA (National Key Result Area) - Urban Public Transport.
This NKRA is a part of Government Transformation Programme.
I was fortunate to have a group of very talented youth
leaders from diverse background. One of my best assistants was even from
Sydney. At the end of the workshop, we successfully came out with a detailed proposal
to solve the deteriorating urban traffic congestion problem. We target at 3 key
areas:
- Reducing waiting time
- Integrating public transport information on the web and mobile phone
- Improving communication among the public, the Ministry of Transport, and the authority party
Our mission is to increase the users of public transports,
and thus helping to reduce the congestion on the roads and promote urbanization.
The highlight of the event was the Summit Dinner, where we
will present our proposal, which comprised 15 different projects, to our Prime
Minister. Being one of the six youth representatives to dine with our Prime
Minister at the VVIP Table was the icing on the cake to me! I would never
imagine that! Thanks for all my teammates for their dedicated effort, trust and
support! We shared some of our ideas to our Prime Minister at the dining table and
we had a good mentoring session with him along the dinner. The Summit Dinner ended
after the presentation of our proposal.
