THE public are invited to share their views and suggestions on the country’s development in preparation for the 12th Malaysia Plan 2021-2025 (12MP).

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Mustapa Mohamed said the public can give feedback on things such as courses of action on reviving the economy, addressing poverty, skilled human capital development, technology adoption and digitisation.

Suggestions related to community participation in the digital economy, environmental sustainability, development of Sabah and Sarawak, and improving the efficiency of the public service can also be forwarded.

The public can forward their suggestions through the ministry’s website, or use the hashtag #RMKe12 on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram from today to December 2.

“Cognisant that the country is in a difficult and challenging situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government strives to ensure that the 12MP, which is in the final stage of preparation, is mapped out to enable the country’s economy to recover and be competitive.

“As the well-being of the people is the priority of the government, appropriate measures will be taken to support the country’s economic growth while ensuring that its prosperity and wealth may be shared by the communities from all walks of life,” he said in a statement today.

Mustapa said the 12MP will be tabled in Parliament early next year.

He said the 12MP is based on the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030, aimed at bringing “development to all, bridging the wealth and income gap, and building a united, prosperous and dignified nation”. – Bernama, November 18, 2020.
