KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stressed that the success of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) hinges on proper coordination and preparedness across all government ministries and agencies.
Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said every administrative machinery must act in unison as one national team to implement policies grounded in reality and designed to meet future challenges.
“The 13MP was drafted following continuous discussions among ministries, central agencies and state governments over the past few months,” said Anwar, who chaired the Special Cabinet Meeting today to review the framework and key initiatives of the plan.
He said the 13MP — a key document that will shape the country’s development over the next five years — is scheduled to be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat at the end of next month.
During the meeting, Anwar also gave ministers and senior officials the opportunity to contribute ideas and suggestions to sharpen the plan’s implementation.
“The 13MP is a continuation of the reforms driven by the MADANI Government over the past two years, based on the aspirations of the MADANI Economy — to restructure the economic framework, elevate the status, dignity and well-being of the people, and build a more just, sustainable and resilient nation,” he said. — BERNAMA
