As much as I would like to welcome new policies that can help our nation to move forward, I am afraid that the itch isn’t in the policies, but rather in the policy enforcers themselves.
When it comes to policy-making, Malaysia is definitely not lacking very far behind many of the developed nations, but when it comes to enforcing these policies, that’s when all hell break loose.
The Star Online on the policy’s formulation…
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said the policy, which would apply the Hyogo Framework for Action, would focus on the concept of mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development policies, planning and implementation.
The Hyogo framework is a global blueprint for disaster risk reduction efforts during the next decade.
By the way, how come it’s only after 50-years of independence that we are formulating the first disaster management policy? Hmm…or is there one in place already that I haven’t heard of.
I really hope this is not just another policy that only goes down in the book and never to be seen again in action, like so many of the policies and acts that we already have in the process of our nation-building.
Just hope that there’ll be no more casualities from the flood that has struck so many of our southern friends.
