SERDANG, May 15 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today reminded all enforcement bodies under the Home Ministry (KDN) to improve their performance apart from assisting the government to carry out a shift in administration governance.
He said the services by these groups should be able to help drive national economic growth apart from ensuring the fair distribution of the country’s wealth.
“I have always called for improvement at our airports, and borders in the Cabinet meeting, just now we also discussed at the National Economic Council with Deputy Zahid (Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) as smuggling is still rife…we lost RM10 billion worth of diesel every year.
“This (RM10 billion) can be used to build universities, repair police and armed forces quarters, prisons as I am asking the enforcement bodies to find the ways…to better services with more effective operation,” he said in his speech when attending the Ceremony to Instil Noble Values and KDN Madani Hari Raya celebration at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) here today.
Also present were Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and Tourism, Art and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.
