If no one tracks the key performance indicators (KPI) of the prime minister and his deputy, then Perkasa said it will take on the task.

"I want the media to report that their KPIs will be determined by Perkasa!

"We will report to the rakyat the policies that cause the Malays to lose out, and why there is no action on people who insult Islam," said a full-throttled Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali.

He was addressing the Malay right wing pressure group's annual general meeting today in Kuala Lumpur.

Ibrahim said an index will be set up to track the leaders' performance in terms of taking care of Malay interests.

He added that the pressure group will also not hold back but will openly criticise Umno and BN's actions and policies, particularly when the economic situation is "in a worrying state".

NONE "The prices of everything is going up and the economic situation of the country, if you look at various statistics, is in a state that is worrying.

"In the past we were afraid to criticise openly, because we were afraid that it would just cause more problems ( tarik rambut dalam tepung, tepung berselerak ).

"Now we will criticise openly without feeling shy - regardless of whether Umno is sensitive about it or not after their recent annual general meeting.

"In the past, I would watch my mouth, because we did not want to cause problems ( tak mahu tepung berkecai ), but this time we won't be silent," said Ibrahim.

NONE His bravado is in stark contrast to his call last week for public restraint over a deluge of hikes that have been announced since the May 5 general election.

"It does not warrant us going to the streets because such actions will only make things worse," the fiery Perkasa chief said on Thursday in response to PAS's call for a massive rally next May Day.

The opposition has dubbed 2014 a ' Price Hike Year ' as Najib Razak's second term has seen hikes in prices of petrol, sugar, and for the coming year, electricity tarrifs, toll rates, Kuala Lumpur Assessment rates, public transport rates and an additional Goods and Services Tax for 2015.
