Make sure budget plans reach the people

Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi yesterday reminded civil servants to carry out all plans outlined in Budget 2009 with zest and commitment.
The prime minister said plans must be carried out without delay or excuse. We are not short of ideas or good plans but we are short in implementation. We have proven in the Auditor-General's Report 2007 that we can do it.
Recently the Auditor-General said the financial management of majority of government agencies at federal and stste levels was good.
Abdullah expressed confidence that with the civil service's combined resources, all budget plans would be implemented for the sake of the people and country.Abdullah said Budget 2009 was aimed at helping the people and not at boosting the government's popularity. The budget was geared towards the lower-income group and had somthing for everyone at a time when the nation is dealing with high inflation. Reminding civil servants of their duties, ABDULLAH SAID AS CONSUMRS THEMSELVES, THEY SHOULD OFFER THE BEST SERVICE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE. Attention must also be paid to the administrative system and work procedures to minimise bureaucracy..
