Cover Rationale
Aspecial purpose agency with limited life, Danaharta was established in 1998and is targeting to complete its mission in 2005.Depicted on the front cover of this year’s annual report are the pieces of a jigsawpuzzle. Each of the pieces symbolises a year of Danaharta’s existence. This year,2004, is the penultimate year of Danaharta’s life. Having met our targets for theyear, the 2004 piece joins the other pieces already in place. There is only one piecemissing to finish the puzzle: the piece symbolising 2005. When the 2005 piecefalls into place, the puzzle is done and our task will be complete.Ajigsaw begins as a muddle of disordered pieces. It ends as a coherent pattern.The jigsaw is thus a visual expression of Danaharta’s mission to take on theeconomic disorder caused by high levels of non - performing loans (NPLs) in theMalaysian banking system during the 1997 economic crisis. By dint of its actions,Danaharta contributed to restoring order and vitality to the nation’s economy.The emphasis placed by the design on the small number of years of operationpays quiet tribute to the speed that is enabling Danaharta to complete its task ahead of schedule. This is an achievement made possible by an unwaveringcommitment to efficiency and teamwork. In addition, the clarity and coherenceof the finished jigsaw stands as a symbol of transparency and good governance.The ability to complete a jigsaw depends on selecting the right pieces in the rightorder and putting them in the right place. It requires patience, planning andresourcefulness. These are the very qualities that we believe have enabled us toachieve our goals.
