Kuala Lumpur: Mengamalkan dasar pintu terbuka dan mudah menerima aduan tanpa birokrasi adalah antara perkara diharapkan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) terhadap barisan Kabinet baru.

Dua elemen itu antara 10 perkara yang digariskan Gabungan NGO Islam (GNI) untuk membantu anggota Kabinet diumumkan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak kelmarin.

Selain itu, laporan prestasi ahli Kabinet juga akan dihantar kepada Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak untuk dinilai berdasarkan aduan rakyat yang mahukan penambahbaikan di dalam sistem kerajaan yang mendapat mandat baru 5 Mei lalu.

Jurucakap NGO berkenaan, Datuk Nadzim Johan berkata, etika berkenaan dikeluarkan hasil perbincangan dengan lebih 80 pertubuhan lain yang ingin menjadi sebahagian daripada jentera kerajaan di dalam memberikan khidmat kepada rakyat.

Antara kandungan 10 perkara itu termasuklah mengamalkan dasar pintu terbuka dan mudah menerima aduan daripada rakyat tanpa birokrasi.

Kami juga mencadangkan supaya elakkan daripada membuang masa dengan menganjurkan atau menyertai majlis keraian atau aktiviti mewah yang mungkin menimbulkan persepsi negatif, semalam.

Call For Special Portfolio For NGOs

KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Five non-governmental organisations (NGOs)today called on a special portfolio be set up under the Prime Minister's Department to tackle issues concerning NGOs in the country.

The call was made by Young Journalists Club (KWMM), Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM), Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (ISMA), Malaysian Ayahanda Consultative Council and The Malay Army Veterans Association (PVTM).

KWMM president Dzulkarnain Taib said recent scenarios saw that NGOs had played major roles in ensuring success for government transformation programme at all levels.

He said many NGOs in the country were established in a bid to help the government but most of them were not active in organising activities due to lack of fund.

"These NGOs spent most of their time and efforts to raise funds. If only the government can help them in that area, they will have more time to organise their activities and programmes," he told a press conference here today.

Meanwhile, the five NGOs also commended the new Cabinet line-up announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday.

PPIM executive secretary Datuk Nadzim Johan said it was hoped that the new leadership line-up would be more people-friendly, especially in reaching out and listening to people's problems without much bureaucratic hassles.
