The Government Transformation Programme (GTP) was introduced by the Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak in April 2009 and is led by him. The objective of GTP is two-fold – first, to transform the Government to be more effective in its delivery of services and accountable for outcomes that matter most to the rakyat; and second, to move Malaysia forward to become an advanced, united, and just society with high standards of living for all. This is in line with the national mission of achieving Vision 2020 - for Malaysia to become a fully developed nation.

The six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) identified to spearhead the Government's transformation are:

• Reducing crime
• Fighting corruption
• Improving student outcomes
• Raising living standards of low-income households
• Improving rural basic infrastructure
• Improving urban public transport
