1Malaysia Concept On Track To Resolve Conflicts: Professor

KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 (Bernama) -- The 1Malaysia concept of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was on the right track in resolving conflicts in the country, said Prof Datuk Dr Abdullah Abdul Rahman.

The adjunct professor of Razak School of Government (RSoG), Universiti Tun Abdul Razak (UniRazak) described the concept as a positive move taken during Najib's one-year leadership as prime minister.

"He has vision. He communicates with the vision. He wants to implement the vision. I think he is willing to resolve all conflicts because when we carry out our duties, we come across many conflicts. The recent one is the global economic crisis," he said.

Speaking to Bernama after delivering the RSoG public discourse entitled 'Leadership and Nation Building in Malaysia' here Thursday, Abdullah said that Najib's transformation included Key Performance Indicators in the administration and walkabout at various places in the country.

He said the prime minister also had short-term missions such as six National Key Result Areas, namely reducing the crime rate; fighting corruption; widening access to quality and affordable education; raising the standard of living of the lower-income group; improving infrastructure in the rural and remote areas; and improving public transport in the medium-term and also New Economic Policy as the long term mission," he said.
