Using Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in Johor Bahru

Key Performance Indicators, also known as KPI, helps an organization define and measure progress toward organizational goals. When our new PM Najib announced that Ministers in the Cabinet will be evaluated using KPI, the key signal to the ministers is to inform them that they are now closely evaluated based on their performance, which is:

1. Easily measurable
2. Based on a definite timescale

In short, time to buck up.

While there has been no indication if the KPI will be released to the public, we have created a wish list of KPI that we hope can be included. They are specific to Johor Bahru, but can easily be expanded to the whole of Malaysia.

Police
1. Improving the crime resolution rate by 20% by 2010.
2. Average response time of 20 minutes in the city area.
3. 25% increase in the public confidence of police force by 2010 (independent survey can be commissioned).
4. 90% of operational police personnel are fit (for example, can run 5km within 35 minutes and complete 100m in 14 seconds).
5. < 10 counts of reported bribery cases/ year

CIQ
1. <20 minutes wait time/ person.
2. <25 minutes wait time/ vehicle.

Add DR Mahathir back to the complex UMNO equation

Prove that:
TanA+TanB+TanC=(TanA)(TanB)(TanC)
Too easy?

How about this:
Prove that E = mc²
Still too easy?

NOW TRY THIS:
What do you get when you have Dr Mahathir, Khairy Jamaluddin (son-in-law of PM Abdullah), DPM Najib (soon to be PM of Malaysia), Trade Minister Muhyiddin Yassin (soon to be DPM) and the influences of out-going PM Abdullah, Mukhriz Mahathir (son of DR Mahathir) all in UMNO?

No one knows for sure (thats why this is tough~). The equation is complex because Dr Mahathir Mohamad does not disguise his unhappiness about the way outgoing PM Abdullah has managed UMNO and Malaysia in general.

One generation down, Khairy Jamaluddin (son-in-law of PM Abdullah) has just beat Mukhriz Mahathir (son of DR Mahathir) to the post of Umno Youth president and their distaste for each other could not be more pronounced.

A highly respected figure in Malaysian politics, Dr Mahathir welds  Read on…

First, we have the debacle in Perak.

2 assembly members who went missing (Jamaluddin Mat Radzi and Osman Jailu) on 25th Feb 2009 and notice of their resignation were soon received. Just when everyone else was wondering what happened, Jamaluddin Mat Radzi and Osman Jailu clarified separately in news conferences to state, categorically, that they have never sent in their resignation letter.

On 4th Feb 2009, 2 of them, together with Nasarudin Hashim and former DAP assemblywoman and deputy speaker Hee Yit Foong appeared in a press conference with DPM Najib in an apparent victory. The state of Perak has fallen to the Barisan National (BN) with these 4 “defectors”. All that is left is for the Sultan of Perak to either dissolve the assembly and call for fresh elections, or to select a new Mentri Besar from BN. He chose the latter.

Thinking that his removal is unconstitutional, former Mentri Besar, Nizar Jamaluddin threatens to sue the Sultan of Perak, sinking himself deeper into a political entanglement. Read on…
