‘It is a known fact that most of the time, government officials do not care to implement changes to policies and rules announced by the PM, the DPM and the ministers. Their usual reaction is ‘no directive'.
On 30% bumi equity lifted for 27 service sectors
Yuvan: While business owners and entrepreneurs in the sectors involved would definitely welcome the move, their main concern will be to see that the respective ministries and government personnel implement this ruling without fear or favour.
It is a known fact that most of the time, government officials do not care to implement changes to policies and rules announced by the PM, the DPM and the ministers.
Their usual reaction is, ‘no directive'. The actual implementation is then left to the discretion of some lackadaisical government officials who don't bother.
Policy changes or amendment to rules announced by the PM, the DPM or any minister must be accorded their due recognition with a clear sense of importance and urgency by the entire government machinery.
The chief secretary should make sure that all information with regards to the changes and/or new rules be disseminated to the entire civil service to ensure implementation without delay.
There cannot be any excuse for ‘half-hearted' responses and unreasonable delays from the civil service.
Dr Lim Teck Ghee: This is the correct policy decision to make. The trend has been for competition for investment amongst countries to become more intense. It is a irreversible trend.
Beneficiaries of this policy reform are not only non-Malay business interests.
It is important to note that Bumiputera labour and business interests will benefit just as much if not more from the employment and other multiplier effects arising from the liberalisation.
One criticism of this long overdue policy initiative is that it may be over-cautious as it is being applied only to a relatively small segment of the economy.
All sectors of the Malaysian economy similarly need a strong injection of quality investment and higher technology and to generate higher value employment if the country's economy is to stay vibrant and competitive.
The extension of this bold move by the government to other sectors of the economy will be necessary sooner rather than later if the country wants to move up the league of competitive nations. (The writer is director, Centre for Policy Initiatives).
