A good, sound and resilient economy which is interdependently premised
on a responsive public service of the future must be trajectorily skewed on
a transformative journey. And only Transformation can be the only sole
answer to this predicament and must prevail ubiquitously. The day the
government knows all has ceased and demised. A clarion call was made by
our Honourable Prime Minister to bring a transformative change in
spearheading the government towards a developed and high income
nation. Hence, the inception towards this transformation agenda started its
humble beginnings from 2010 when the Government Transformation

well-being of the Rakyat.
Concurrently, many transformation programmes were formulated put into
action (ETP, NBOS etc) and this is elevated with the JPA initiated
transformation programmes in the year 2013 involving all ministries and

implemented so far (2016) involving 339 of JPA and 810 of the various
ministries and agencies. A total of 171 initiatives are high impact in nature
which are income generation and bring wellness to the rakyat.
JPA is now embarking on Transformation 2.0, which is premised on the
formulation of new transformative initiatives which are strategically

will be an overarching approach in utilising smart tools to capture the right
