Happy National Integrity Day, everybody!
Decisions of wisdom from my fav / beloved Prime Minister, he’s surely one who knows the importance of a strong inward infrastructure that need to go hand in hand with (or rather, precede) the outward. Am really thankful for his leadership, and believing that our nation will spear towards explosive growth in the coming years (not implosive for lack of character to maintain the development)! Malaysia boleh.. yay!
Weaving integrity and ethics into everyday life
PUTRAJAYA: Ethics and integrity must be taken seriously if the country wants a brighter future, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.
He said enhancing ethics and integrity in the people’s daily life was crucial to attaining developed country status. It would also form a progressive society with high moral values and ethics, and strong religious and spiritual faith.
As the basis to strengthen ethics and integrity in society, he said, the Government had launched the National Integrity Plan and set up the Integrity Institute of Malaysia. At the same time it was stepping up efforts to fight corruption in the public and private sectors.
“In fact, the move to enhance integrity is comprehensive and involves everyone,” he said in his message to mark the inaugural National Integrity Day today.
Abdullah said the Government’s move to declare Nov 5 National Integrity Day was aimed at making integrity a way of life for Malaysians.
“Although National Integrity Day is observed once a year, the Government hopes the implementation of the integrity agenda by all Malaysians will be an ongoing process,” he said.
The Prime Minister said the success of the integrity enhancement initiative depended on the direct involvement of all parties.
In this regard, he welcomed the support and involvement of the public and private sectors and NGOs in ensuring the success of National Integrity Day.
“It will contribute to efforts in building a Malaysian society of glory, excellence and distinction,” he added. – Bernama
