review process, which takes place from April to July. On top of that, the mid term review of the
11MP is currently on going. The mid term review exercise reports the progress that have been
achieved during the first two years of the 11MP (2016 and 2017), details the actual performance
versus targets and also outlines the programs that will be revised or continued in the remaining
plan period. Where necessary, new programs will be introduced in order to achieve the targets
that have been set for 2020. The mid term review document is expected to be tabled in the
Parliament in September 2018 and will be made available to the public soon after that33.
For the National Land Public Transport Master Plan (NLPTMP), which also includes Land
Freight, the monitoring is carried out by the Land Public Transport Commission (Malay:
Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat, or SPAD) who develops the plan. SPAD conducts
reviews at 10-year intervals to ensure that the strategic directions set by the plan remain
current and relevant to actual situations, challenges and demands of the time. Specific KPIs are
defined, aligned to each strategic objective, along with methods of verification. These KPIs will
be tracked to measure the progress of the transformation. In some instances, targets for these
KPIs are set. A publicly Annual Report is published, containing an annual comprehensive
stocktake to identify progress on specific KPIs.
