If all worked hard, Malaysia would achieve its objective of being on par with developed countries, says PM.
New year resolutions should be made not just for self-benefit but also the success of the country, said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"I hope 2020, which is a very significant year for us, will mark the year we take the step to bring success to our country, so that in 2030 we will be recognised as a developed country,” he said when addressing staff of the Prime Minister’s Department today at their first assembly for the year. He said Malaysia was now capable of participating in and manufacturing its own products in the technological field.
Mahathir also stressed the need for ministers and government officers to cooperate to ensure that all national development policies could be implemented successfully.
