Overview

The National Key Results Areas (NKRAs)

The NKRAs have been deemed the priority areas for the nation through various surveys, opinion polls, and dialogues conducted with the rakyat. They represent a combination of short-term priorities to address urgent rakyat demands and equally important long-term issues affecting the rakyat that require our attention now.

Six areas requiring immediate attention like education, urban public transport, rural basic infrastructure, low- income households, crime and corruption have been under the GTP since its introduction in 2010. These areas once addressed will assist in the well-being of the people in the long run.

In July 2011, a 7th NKRA – Cost of Living was announced to address another pressing issue of inflation and rising daily cost of the people.

The NKRAs are collectively owned by the Cabinet, with accountability for delivery resting on a Lead Minister, who is appointed and formally monitored by the Prime Minister.

NKRAs		HEADED BY
	Reducing Crime	Minister of Home Affairs
	Fighting Corruption	Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, in charge of Law
	Improving Student Outcomes	Minister of Education
	Raising Living Standards of Low-Income Households	Minister of Women, Family and Community Development
	Improving Rural Basic Infrastructure	Minister of Rural and Regional Development
	Improving Urban Public Transport	Minister of Transport

Areas not covered by the NKRAs but deemed important will receive attention from the Government at the ministerial level. These areas - the Ministerial Key Results Areas (MKRAs) - include targeted outcomes that the rakyat can see and feel (e.g. responding to public complaints and reducing the number of road traffic accidents).
