THE half-term review of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) to be tabled in parliament next week will show a new comprehensive action plan, Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said.

He said previously, the half-term review was only to evaluate performance but the current review was different because the existing plan needed to be re-evaluated, due to various factors, such as the Covid-19 pandemic that hit the country in 2020.

“This is because many ideas or plans that were made before the spread of Covid-19 can no longer be used. In other words, the review that will be tabled is a new plan for the country,” he said in a video uploaded on Facebook yesterday.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is expected to table the half-term review in parliament next Monday.

The 12MP was presented by the ninth prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob on September 27, 2021, with an estimated development allocation of RM400 billion. – Bernama, September 8, 2023.
