13MP key milestone for Malaysia's medium-term development says Lee
KUALA LUMPUR: The tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) in Parliament marks a pivotal moment in shaping the nation's medium-term development, according to Alliance for a Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye. As Malaysia faces global economic uncertainty, technological shifts, climate challenges, and demographic changes, he described the plan as an opportunity to realign priorities, strengthen resilience, and drive sustainable progress. 'In general, the plan must be commended for its intent to address critical national challenges such as income inequality, digital transformation, green economy transition and institutional reform,' he said. Lee stressed that the plan's effectiveness relies on disciplined execution, transparency, and collaboration across government and society. He called for a robust monitoring system to track progress, alongside regular public reporting and audits to ensure accountability. Strong coordination between federal, state, and local agencies is essential to prevent inefficiencies, he added. Engagement with civil society and the private sector must continue beyond planning to maintain inclusivity. 'Development expenditure must be prioritised based on impact, equity, and sustainability, with a focus on reducing leakages and wastage,' Lee said. He also emphasised public service capacity building and institutional reforms, urging adaptability to global or domestic changes. - Bernama

Cheaper special eggs soon
Photo: FAIHAN GHANI/The Star Govt to give green light on lower, affordable new grades KUALA LUMPUR: Industry players are awaiting further instructions from the government before finalising the new grades of affordable chicken eggs. Federation of Livestock Farmers Associations of Malaysia deputy president Lee Yoon Yeau said the grades would likely be in the D and E range, but this had yet to be fixed. 'We had discussions before the subsidy removal for affordable eggs. The government asked the industry and farmers to produce a special grade egg for the B40 group. 'The special D and E grades will be sold at lower and affordable prices in supermarkets that will be determined by the government under certain promotions or programmes, like the Bantuan Rahmah or MyKasih,' he said. Lee said the federation was willing to comply with the government's request to roll out the affordable eggs. On the difference between grades A, B, C and D eggs, he said it had to do with weight which ranged from 45g to 70g. Grade A to B could weigh between 55g and 70g while the affordable ones could be between 45g and 50g. For the bigger Omega variety, Lee said these were higher priced as special feed was used to produce it. Lee was commenting on the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry's announcement on Thursday that a new grade of chicken eggs will be introduced to ensure supply security and price stability. It said industry players had agreed to this, revealing that the Special Grade Eggs will be offered at a more affordable price. The ministry said the public can also purchase chicken eggs at competitive prices through the Agro Madani Sales and Rahmah Sales programmes implemented widely across the country, including at sales premises of the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) and Farmers' Organisation Authority (LPP). The government announced the restructuring of chicken egg subsidies to take effect as of yesterday as part of a phased and targeted subsidy approach aimed at greater sustainability and higher impact. Chia Seong Pow, chief operating officer of QL Resources Bhd which is one of Malaysia's leading chicken egg producers, said current supply was 'well balanced'. 'Price points for the eggs are okay depending on consumers' preferences. 'Prices are still considered reasonable. 'As for the affordable eggs, it will likely come under the Rahmah programme, but we have to wait to see if there are other programmes introduced by the government for eggs,' he added. According to the ministry, the government spent nearly RM2.5bil to subsidise chicken egg prices between February 2022 and December 2024.

Next Malaysia plan aligns with Maju Johor agenda
Lee says Johor welcomes the 13MP's focus on AI adoption, digital infrastructure and data centre development. The infrastructure, digital economy and talent development initiatives under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) aligns closely with the Maju Johor agenda. Johor investment, trade, consumer affairs and human resources committee chairman Lee Ting Han said the plan also supported the recognition of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) as a key driver of regional economic integration and high quality investments. 'The establishment of a one-stop investment centre, along with the commitment to facilitate cross-border investments, reflects strong alignment between federal and state policies in elevating Johor as a new national growth hub,' he said in a media statement. Lee said the state also welcomed the plan's focus on artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, digital infrastructure and data centre development. 'Johor is now at the forefront of the data centre and digital investment industry, and these areas align with our strengths as a preferred destination for high-tech investment. 'We find the green economy initiatives and water sector transformation plan to be in line with Johor's sustainability agenda. 'The focus on smart grid systems, battery energy storage systems (Bess), and water efficiency are among Johor's key priorities that are actively being pursued.' Lee also lauded the 13MP's focus on major infrastructure development, such as the Gemas-Johor Baru double-tracking project, Elevated Automated Rapid Transit (E-ART) and the upgrading of the Senai Utara-Machap stretch of the North-South Highway. 'The Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link connecting Johor Baru and Singapore is also a transformational regional mobility project that will ease daily movement for thousands of workers and tourists, reduce border congestion and enhance economic integration. 'The expansion project for the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), one of the busiest container ports in Malaysia, will also support the growth of low-carbon maritime trade and position Malaysia as a regional logistics hub,' he added. Lee said Johor also welcomed the recognition as one of the designated locations for the Strategic Tourism Investment Zone (STIZ), alongside other states. 'This will empower our tourism sector ahead of Visit Johor 2026 and support the goal of making tourism a key contributor to the state's GDP,' he said. He also thanked the Federal Government for building Sultanah Aminah Hospital 2 (HSA2). 'HSA2 will complement the existing healthcare infrastructure and help ease congestion at the main hospital. 'This is a strategic investment that will improve healthcare access for the people of Johor. 'We are confident that the inclusive and strategic implementation of the MP13 will unlock Johor's full potential, accelerate its path towards developed state status, and bring direct benefits to the people as well as the national economy,' he noted.
