Looking back, 2011 has been a very eventful and yet fruitful year, full of challenges, changes and concrete results.  Moving forward, we must welcome 2012 with even greater determination to realise further transformation in the true spirit of 1Malaysia to sustain national harmony and social justice.
 
Various initiatives under the government and economic transformation programmes have been implemented earnestly to address major concerns of the people, showing some tangible results, in line with the commitment on “People First, Performance Now.”  However, greater determination and efforts are still very much needed, especially in the areas of combating crime and corruption, and in further enhancing the pro-business and pro-talent environment to more effectively harness our natural and human resources to bring greater benefits to all Malaysians.

回首2011年，不仅是一个多事之年，且是丰硕的一年，这期间充满挑战、变化多端，也获得具体成就。我们应该秉持更坚强的决心，以“一个马来西亚”精神，实践转型，迎接全新的一年，向前挺进，以维持国家和谐以及社会公平。

多项政府和经济转型计划已陆续积极实施，以处理人民所关注的重要课题，并已展现了一些具体的成绩，体现“以民为本，绩效为先”的承诺。然而，在对抗罪案和贪污方面，我们需要拥有更坚强的决心与努力，并进一步地加强亲商与重视人才的环境，以更有效地善用我国的天然资源及人力资源，为所有的马来西亚人民带来更大的利益。
