THE 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) mid-term review is set to be tabled by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today in the special meeting of the Dewan Rakyat.

Debates will take place tomorrow until Thursday while ministers will offer their replies on Sept 18-19.

The meeting will be broadcast live on the parliament YouTube channel and several TV stations.

The RM400 billion 12MP presented in 2021 is the complementary phase of the country’s five-year development plan (2021-2025) towards achieving the status of a developed and inclusive country.

The plan was carried out to evaluate the achievements of the five-year plan in its first two years and the direction for the next three years towards becoming a sustainable, prosperous, and high-income nation, taking into account current domestic challenges and global trends.

On September 7, Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said the 12MP needed to be evaluated in its entirety as the assumptions made prior to the Covid-19 pandemic had rendered some points obsolete.

On June 19, a special meeting of the cabinet on the 12MP agreed that all parties need to move as a team to expedite the execution of planned reforms and economic initiatives. – Bernama, September 11, 2023.
