Be more ‘critical and constructive’, Najib tells religious bodies

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak today told the country's religious institutions to be "critical and constructive" when exercising their duties, saying the changing environment poses new challenges to the handling of Islamic matters in Malaysia.

The prime minister (picture) said wider access to communication tools has made Malaysians better informed compared to a few decades ago and hence, necessitates a more systematic and strategic plan in the development of Islam.

"Civil servants, especially those in religious institutions and religious teachers, should be critical and constructive when exercising their duties in order to find creative and innovative solutions that are outside the box.

"This is important in order for religious departments and the relevant institutions to excel when servicing the rakyat," he said in his speech at the launch of the Malaysian Islamic Management Transformation Carnival 2011 at the Putra World Trade Centre here this morning.

Najib underlined his administration's Government Transformation Programme (GTP) as an initiative that is not only concerned with developing the economy but also encompasses the transformation of Islam in Malaysia.
