THERE'S WORK STILL TO BE DONE


There's still room for improvement: PM 2011/01/10

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said he is generally satisfied with inputs from his meeting today with Barisan Nasional MPs, but believe they is still room for them to improve their service to the people.The Prime Minister and BN Chairman said that some of the problems brought up to the MPs were beyond their capacity to solve.

"This is the real purpose (of the meeting) based on our catch phrase that BN puts the people first," he said.

Najib said the MPs need the support of the federal and state governments and must be able to bring problems of the people to the top leadership for a solution.
This way the MPs will be more effective, he told reporters after the meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre here.

Najib said that 105 MPs, including deputy ministers, came for the meeting out of the 112 invited.

Those who did not attend had written to explain why they could not be present. Ministers were not included because they had other opportunities to meet Najib.

The meeting -- which was a series of sessions with a group of MPs at a time -- started at 9.30am and ended at about 5.30pm.

Najib said the meeting was a good way for him and BN Secretary General Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor to learn about problems in BN constituencies and consider how MPS could serve more effectively.

Asked whether the meeting indicated an early general election, he said it was part of the political transformation process which he announced at the Umno general assembly in 2009.

He said the transformation had begun with amendments to the Umno constitution and proposed amendments to the BN constitution.

Najib said that political transformation was important for BN as a coalition that put the people first.

He said he will also meet division heads in parliamentary constituencies not under BN. - BERNAMA
