PETALING JAYA, Malaysia - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will announce today national key performance indicators (KPIs), where the Government will identify areas to focus on.

Najib said in his video Q&A session on his blog 1Malaysia.com.my that he would unveil five or six national key result areas in his speech to mark 100 days in office.

"We will create and introduce KPIs or national key result areas, which are close to the hearts of Malaysians and which they want the Government to focus on," he said when answering a question from Khairuddin Musa of Pekan, who submitted a video recording of himself asking the question.

Najib had earlier invited Malaysians to pose questions to him through a video Q&A session on his blog.

He said the details of the national key results areas would probably be announced at the end of this month after a meeting with government officers.

"When we know what the national KPIs are, the people will be able to measure the Government's efforts and performance. They can also give their views and suggestions on how we can achieve these national KPIs.

This, he said, was a reflection of the Government's intention to have a more effective and meaningful achievement as demanded by the rakyat.

A woman from Sarawak asked Najib how he rated his own work in the past 100 days.

"It is difficult for me to comment on myself but basically we have put forward the agenda for the new administration," he replied.

He outlined the measures the Government had taken, which included the liberalisation of 27 sub-sectors, and the financial and banking sectors.

"I think it is a very positive step forward," he said, adding that he wanted to initiate changes that would send the right signals to the market.

However, he said that such changes did not mean ignoring domestic goals that were needed to be achieved for a just and balanced society. Najib said the concept of 1Malaysia was to embrace the country's multi-cultural society.

Government policies, he said, should be seen as fair to all communities. He reiterated that the policies must be fair to the "have-nots" and the "haves".

"In other words, we must be helpful to all those deserving of help but at the same time we must allow each and every Malaysian to have his rightful place under the sun."
