Ministers to set KPI at upcoming retreat, says Anwar

A retreat will be held next week, specifically for Cabinet ministers to set the key performance indicators (KPI) for each ministry, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the retreat was to get the ministers’ input after more than a month’s work, and to present matters that could be carried out or improved on.

"After that, we will make an announcement about the KPI and the hopes of each minister and ministry," he said at a question-and-answer session during dinner with the Malaysian diaspora at the embassy of Malaysia in Kuningan, Jakarta.

Also present were his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Foreign Minister Zambry Abdul Kadir, International Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz and Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.

Earlier, Anwar said in his speech that the government was striving to boost economic growth again, and that the main focus of his administration would be strengthening a sustainable economy by attracting investments and ensuring social justice.

"Malaysia must be free from the greed of the elite minority who have used their power to enrich themselves and their clans. I will not compromise at all although it will threaten my position," he said.
