ISKANDAR PUTERI: Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi today announced the appointment of 10 Deputy Chairmen of State Government Committees to strengthen the administrative machinery and speed up the delivery of services to the people.
He said the appointment was also aimed at speeding up the resolution of the people’s issues and ensuring that every development policy could be implemented effectively, balanced and inclusively in every district.
Onn Hafiz said various strategic initiatives are being formulated and will be implemented to ensure Johor continues to be a developed state by 2030 in line with the implementation of the Johor Maju 2030 framework and the Johor Economic Transformation Plan (JETP).
“Along with the increasingly rapid and challenging development agenda, the state government sees the need to strengthen administrative capacity to ensure that every policy, project and programme can be implemented more effectively,” he said at a press conference in Kota Iskandar, here today.
Onn Hafiz said the appointment proposal was presented and received the approval of the Regent Sultan of Johor Tunku Mahkota Ismail.
He said each deputy committee chairman must work as a team and establish close cooperation with the chairman of the main committee as well as related departments and agencies.
This step, he said, is important to monitor project implementation, coordinate actions on the ground and ensure that every benefit of the launched program truly reaches the grassroots level.
