He said the KPIs involved 15 initiatives under six aspirations – fighting Covid-19, safeguarding the country’s borders, strengthening international relations, fulfilling housing needs, protecting the welfare of armed forces (ATM) veterans and implementing the “Jiwa Murni” programme.
“Not a single day in my first 100 days went by easily. However, this is the advantage and strength of staff members of the ministry and ATM who are willing to work regardless of time,” he said in his speech at the ministry’s 100-Day Malaysian Family Aspirations programme at Kem Perdana Sungai Besi here today.
He said among the KPIs achieved was the Combat Medic Vaccination Team, which had to go to rural areas, especially in Sabah and Sarawak, to assist the health ministry in administering Covid-19 vaccines to the people.
“Through the team’s effort, a total of 25,092 rural residents had been vaccinated and in less than two months and 14,097 teenagers were fully vaccinated through the drive-through vaccination exercise.
“In addition, a total of 17,023 illegal immigrants were detained through Op Benteng as at Dec 7. At the same time, the operation of field hospitals involving the Royal Medical Corps assisted the health ministry in treating thousands of Covid-19 patients,” he said.
On housing, Hishammuddin said the ministry had aimed to provide at least 2,000 units within the first 100 days of the current administration and this was fulfilled through the launch of 2,000 units of Rumah Keluarga Malaysia Angkatan Tentera (RKMAT) in Bukit Jalil by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Nov 3.
He added that the ministry was planning to build 28,033 units of RKMAT nationwide from this year until 2030.
Meanwhile, Hishammuddin said the ministry would start the post-100 days plan tomorrow.
“I will personally look into the policies and initiatives that can be implemented next year through the 2022 Action Plan.
“Apart from that, the ministry will be focusing on long-term planning through the 12th Malaysia Plan, the Mindef Strategic Plan 2021-2025 and the National Defence and Security Industry Policy, which will be finalised soon,” he added.
Hishammuddin said the 100-day achievements could not be used as a benchmark for the ministry’s excellence as a whole but it could serve as a catalyst to every initiative under the action plan.
Also present at today’s programme were Defence Force chief Gen Affendi Buang and navy chief Admiral Mohd Reza Mohd Sany.
