YOUR EXCELLENCIES, COLLEAGUES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
DOBAR DAN I DOBRODOŠLI
SELAMAT DATANG
1. MY WIFE AND I ARE HONOURED AND WARMLY WELCOME ALL OF YOU TO THIS EVENING’S RECEPTION. WE ARE VERY HAPPY THAT YOU COULD JOIN US ON THIS AUSPICIOUS OCASSION TO CELEBRATE MALAYSIA’S 54TH ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE.
2. IT HAS BEEN 19TH YEARS SINCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN MALAYSIA AND CROATIA. THIS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES MALAYSIA’S COMMITMENT AND BELIEF IN CROATIA’S POTENTIAL AS A STRATEGIC PARTNER IN EUROPE AND FUTURE MEMBER IN THE E.U. IN TERMS OF BILATERAL RELATIONS, BOTH COUNTRIES ENJOY EXCELLENT POLITICAL GOODWILL AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. MANY CROATIANS HAVE BEEN OUR GUESTS IN MALAYSIA WHERE THEY PARTICIPATED IN THE VARIOUS COURSES UNDER THE MALAYSIAN TECHNICAL COOPERATION PROGRAM (MTCP). OVER THE YEARS, MALAYSIA HAS REACHED OUT TO THE CROATIAN ISLAMIC COMMUNITY THROUGH THE PROVISION OF SCHOLARSHIPS AND ALSO TRAINING PROGRAMS TOENHANCE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND CAPACITIES.
3. THE TALE OF MALAYSIA’S JOURNEY TO ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENT IS A STORY BY ITSELF. FROM ITS BEGINNING AS A LOW INCOME AGRICULTURAL NATION AT THE TIME OF ITS FORMATION, TODAY, AS A RESULT OF SOUND PLANNING AND SYSTEMATIC IMPLEMENTATION, WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY EMERGED AS A MODERATELY HIGH INCOME MODERN INDUSTRIAL NATION. IN THE EFFORTS TO CREATE A MALAYSIAN RACE THAT IS MORE RESILIENT IN OVERCOMING ALL KINDS OF CHALLENGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY GLOBALIZATION, TO THIS END, THE PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA, THE HONOURABLE DATO SRI’ MOHD NAJIB TUN ABDUL RAZAK HAS INTRODUCED THE CONCEPT OF 1MALAYSIA.
4. 1MALAYSIA IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF ‘PEOPLE FIRST, PERFORMANCE NOW’. THIS CONCEPT FULFILS THE ASPIRATIONS OF ALL MALAYSIANS AS ENSHRINED IN THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION AND NATIONAL PRINCIPLES. THE CONCEPT OF 1MALAYSIA ASPIRES TO STRENGHTEN RELATIONSHIPS AMONG RACES THROUGH MUTUAL TRUST AND RESPECT. THROUGH 1MALAYSIA, NO ONE WILL FEEL ALIENATED BECAUSE EVERYONE BELONGS TO ONE RACE, THE MALAYSIAN RACE, WHICH HAS THE SAME GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY.
5. THE GOVERNMENT HAS INTRODUCED THE GOVERNMENT TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM (GTP) WHICH WAS DEVISED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF 1MALAYSIA. IN ITS ENTIRETY, THE GTP IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE ALL MALAYSIANS ACCESS TO IMPROVED PUBLIC SERVICES IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE, RELIGION AND REGION. THE OBJECTIVE OF GTP IS TWO-FOLD – FIRST, TO TRANSFORM THE GOVERNMENT TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN ITS DELIVERY OF SERVICES AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUTCOMES THAT MATTER MOST TO THE PEOPLE; AND SECOND, TO MOVE MALAYSIA FORWARD TO BECOME AN ADVANCED, UNITED, AND JUST SOCIETY FOR MALAYSIA TO BECOME A FULLY DEVELOPED AND INDUSTRIALISED NATION BY THE YEAR 2020.
6. THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALSO INTRODUCED THE ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM (ETP) WHICH IS A COMPREHENSIVE EFFORT THAT WILL TRANSFORM MALAYSIA INTO A HIGH-INCOME NATION. THE 12 NATIONAL KEY ECONOMIC AREAS (NKEAs) ARE THE CORE OF THE ETP. A NKEA IS DEFINED AS A DRIVER OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DIRECTLY AND MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE A QUANTIFIABLE AMOUNT OF ECONOMIC GROWTH TO THE MALAYSIAN ECONOMY. THE 12 NKEAs ARE; OIL, GAS AND ENERGY; PALM OIL; FINANCIAL SERVICES; TOURISM; BUSINESS SERVICES; ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRICAL; WHOLESALE AND RETAIL; EDUCATION; HEALTHCARE; COMMUNICATIONS CONTENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE; AGRICULTURE; AND GREATER KUALA LUMPUR. WE BELIEVE THAT THESE 12 NKEAs WILL PROPEL MALAYSIA TO HIGH INCOME STATUS BY 2020.
7. TODAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE BRING TO YOU A TASTE OF 1MALAYSIA, THE MALAYSIAN COMMUNITY HAVE SPECIALLY PREPARED SOME TYPICALLY MALAYSIAN DISHES AND DESSERTS. WE CERTAINLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL ENJOY THE TRADITIONAL MALAYSIAN HOSPITALITY AND ITS DELICACIES.
8. FINALLY, FOR YOUR INFORMATION, IF YOU ARE A FAN OF MALAYSIAN FOOD THE MALAYSIAN EMBASSY PLAN TO ORGANIZE ON A MONTHLY BASIS MALAYSIA KITCHEN TO SHOWCASE DIFFERENT MALAYSIAN FOOD FROM THE DIFFERENT STATES THAT MAKE UP OUR BELOVED COUNTRY, IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT, VIA OUR MONTHLY E-BULLETIN.
DOBAR TEK AND ENJOY.
HVALA LIJEPA, TERIMA KASIH.
