Up To PM To Decide My Future At Federal - Chin

Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin is leaving his position as federal cabinet member in the hands of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Speaking to reporters here Friday, he said although he had led his ministry to achieve its targets for 2010, it would still be up to Najib to evaluate his performance as the minister in charge.

He said all federal ministers would be evaluated by the prime minister between Jan 24 and 26, this year.

"My ministry has submitted our reports, we have met our targets but all would be looked into and decided by our prime minister," said Chin, adding that among the ministry's best achievements was in reducing the power interruption frequency in Sabah.

"Our target then was to reduce the number of interruptions per year per consumer to 700 minutes (before the end of 2010)...yet, we managed to record 687 minutes. Previously, it was over 2,800 minutes."

Chin said the achievement was quite significant for him as he had even announced in Sabah in March last year that he would resign from his post, should he fail to achieve the target.

He said the ministry's aim of getting 40 companies to sign up for the Green Technology Financing Scheme last year was also surpassed when 60 companies were eventually registered.

For this year, he said it would be a busy year to implement all the development projects that had been outlined under the Government Transformation Programme and the Economic Transformation Program.- BERNAMA
