Description:	FYI No. 14 Apr 7, 04
NECF Malaysia "For Your Intercession" No. 14 – April 7, 2004 www.necf.org.my. Our National Leaders The newly appointed cabinet members sworn in before Yang di-Pertuan Agong on March 30^th 2004. At the first Cabinet meeting on 31^st, the Prime Minister called for personal integrity among the members in order to fulfil the coalition’s pre-General Election manifesto for an effective and efficient government – clean and corruption-free. On the same day, the Cabinet approved a Code of Ethics, which emphasises integrity, honesty and the total rejection of corruption, for all elected BN representatives. The Cabinet is the highest co-ordinating executive body of all government activities and interests. Many of the most important decisions are made here and it is also responsible for proposing legislation of bills to meet the needs of public and current issues. Its role is significant in the day to day running of the government. Under the leadership of Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi who believes in the practice of genuine power sharing, the Cabinet may be able to perform its function more effectively for national interests. Therefore it is important for Christians to recognize its role and responsibilities, and provide prayer support for the Cabinet members, for we know that "the plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD" (Prov. 16:1, NASB). As they make decision on any policy or law, God will direct their steps (16:9).
