The Institute of Management Development (IMD) 2011 World Competitive Rankings places Malaysia at 16th, six slots down from its previous 10th position.
This drop in standing comes despite the positive announcements the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) made with regards to Malaysia ’s track record in combating corruption, improved accountability and transparency.
These three themes have been Najib Razak clarion call since assuming office on April 3 2009. He entered office with a focus on domestic economic issues and political reform. And sad to say in all these areas, Najib has not only failed to make a mark, they have gotten worse.
