ZERO Overlapping Agencies By Streamlining Malaysia's Government

In Malaysia, unnecessary government agencies with overlapping functions lead to inefficiencies, resource wastage, and poor service delivery. The duplication of roles across agencies creates confusion, hinders decision-making, and increases bureaucratic red tape, often slowing down public services. This issue also contributes to unnecessary public spending on administrative costs, salaries, and infrastructure, straining the national budget and exacerbating the country’s debt problem.

Key sectors such as public health, education, housing, and SME development often see multiple agencies with similar functions, leading to fragmented approaches and accountability issues. For example, the Ministry of Entrepreneur Development and Malaysian Industrial Development Finance (MIDF) offer similar services, while both the National Housing Department and local authorities oversee housing projects, causing inefficiencies.

Calls for reform have urged the consolidation of these agencies to streamline government operations. In 2019, the Public Service Reform Committee identified numerous agencies for potential mergers or abolition. Consolidation would save operational costs, improve coordination, and enhance accountability. Countries like Singapore and South Korea have successfully reduced government redundancies, improving efficiency and economic outcomes. For Malaysia, tackling this issue is vital for better governance, reducing the national debt, and fostering economic growth.

Fully support ZERO intiatives! MPs pension should be capped at certain limit regardless how many positions held and duration should be only at 60 above, not just 2-3 years, boleh pencen but the rest are made to work till 55 or 60. Waste of money on useless MPs. MPs also should not getting half pension from each positions held. Some MPs are getting RM100K+ in pensions per month!

About the EPF saving concerns, so maybe all those exorbitant pensions can go to fund the aging population. Khazanah Research Institute said in the report --> "It also assumes that Malaysians only use RM1,000 per month for 20 years.", so RM1K is enough to survive per month, so ALL MPs pensions and salaries do not need RM10K above? Is this really enough? I think reality is not that. KRI report has problem, but this is Malaysia Bolehland...

When a country’s debt becomes too high and it faces challenges in repaying it, governments must make tough decisions to cut back on public spending, particularly focusing on eliminating misallocated funds. Cutting back to zero misallocation is critical to ensure that public resources are used efficiently and to prevent the debt burden from spiraling out of control.

I am waiting to see one leader who possess wisdom and open minded from UMNO to harmoniously bring its people together to make UMNO stronger and bigger
and even he will bring all Malaysian in all races together to make Malaysia more prosperous and stronger in term of economically stronger, technology more advancement, more socially harmonious etc
And perhaps this person may not be necessarily from UMNO but other political party instead,
And obviously this person is not Akmal, not Lim Guan Ying, not Wei Ka Xiang, Not Muhhidin, Not Awang Hadi etc either, and not to say DrM as this DrM was/is the beginner of the poison of current Malaysian political and socially devided.
Will see who and when this person emerge…

Democracy is meant to empower citizens, but this empowerment does not end at the ballot box. Without accountability, politicians may become complacent, prioritizing personal ambitions, indulging in globe-trotting diplomatic tours, or focusing on matters detached from the everyday needs of their constituents. When voters keep a vigilant eye on their elected leaders, it ensures that they remain focused on their roles as *servant leaders*—leaders who serve the interests of the people who put them in power, rather than pursuing self-serving agendas (e.g. securing ticket to heaven, etc) or unnecessary external engagements (e.g. in middle east crisis, etc).

Rakyat must rise to say "NO" to more taxes and less subsidies as long as the government do not fulfill all the rakyat-centric "ZEROs" demand
