THE National Transport Policy (NTP) 2019–2030 shows that the government is committed to improving the national transportation scene, but a policy is only good in words if no tangible efforts are done to implement it.

In my opinion, the whole country (everyone living in Malaysia) needs to get the basics right first for the NTP to work, and this is especially true with regards to Policy Thrust 2 (Optimise, build and maintain the use of transport infrastructure, services and networks to maximise efficiency), Policy Thrust 3 (Enhance safety, integration, connectivity and accessibility for seamless journey) and Policy Thrust 4 (Advance towards green transport ecosystem).
