Govt reform agenda progressing consistently, not mere rhetoric
KUALA LUMPUR: Claims that the reformasi agenda is not progressing are unfounded, as it is moving forward consistently. Senior press secretary to the Prime Minister, Tunku Nashrul Abaidah, said the reformasi agenda is not something to be implemented overnight or merely expressed in statements, but rather is being executed through structured actions. 'Since the start of the Prime Minister's (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) administration, he has emphasised that the MADANI Government will always listen and stay open to constructive criticism. 'This stance is reflected in action. Every criticism is viewed as an opportunity for improvement. Today's successes mirror that approach,' he said. Tunku Nashrul said this during the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) daily briefing, broadcast live on both Anwar Ibrahim's and the PMO Malaysia's Facebook pages today. Tunku Nashrul said that, as outlined by the Prime Minister through the MADANI Economy Framework, the main goal is to elevate the nation's economic potential, enhance its capacity, and ensure the well-being of its citizens. He added that Malaysia's rise of 11 places to the 23rd rank in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025, up from 34th place last year, is due to the MADANI Government's sustained commitment and comprehensive implementation via a whole-of-government and whole-of-nation approach. He said this is the country's best performance since 2020, proving that economic and bureaucratic reforms are yielding results and that the MADANI Economy Framework is keeping the country's economy on the right track. 'This achievement also reflects the collective efforts to strengthen fiscal policy, simplify business processes, and accelerate public service delivery reforms, including over 1,000 initiatives under the Bureaucratic Red Tape Reform (RKB). 'For example, the national bureaucracy perception index has jumped 22 positions, a clear signal that reforms are delivering real results, not just at the national level but also with international recognition,' he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Claims that the "reformasi" agenda is not progressing are unfounded, as it is moving forward consistently, says Tunku Nashrul Abaidah.

Mineral licence approval now takes one week instead of 61 days, says ministry
PUTRAJAYA: The Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry (NRES), through the National Minerals and Geoscience Department (JMG), has successfully reduced the approval time for the Mineral Licence (Without Storage Premises) from 61 days to just seven days under its Bureaucratic Red Tape Reform (RKB) project. According to NRES, the reform is expected to lower compliance costs for mineral trading companies by up to 20 per cent, boosting both domestic and international trade and generating an estimated RM1.3mil in annual revenue for the government. "This initiative reflects NRES' ongoing commitment to streamlining industry operations and enhancing the efficiency of public service delivery,' the ministry said in a statement on Friday (May 16). In recognition of this achievement, JMG received a Certificate of Appreciation presented by Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, to NRES secretary-general, Datuk Dr Ching Thoo a/l Kim, on April 10. The RKB project is part of the Special Task Force on Agency Reform (STAR), chaired by the Chief Secretary, and aims to expedite regulatory processes while reducing compliance costs for businesses and the public. This move also supports the Public Service Reform Agenda 2024-2030 and the Malaysia Madani vision, which seeks to improve government efficiency, drive productivity, and enhance public well-being. Additionally, the reform helps accelerate administrative processes, strengthen industrial competitiveness, and promote sustainable mineral exports. - Bernama
