13MP Focuses On Uplifting Quality Of Life Through Inclusive Social Development
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- The MADANI Government continues to prioritise inclusive and responsive social development in efforts to uplift the quality of life for the people under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). According to the document released by the Ministry of Economy today, efforts will be intensified through four key measures: tackling the cost-of-living burden, reengineering the social system based on Insan MADANI, improving quality of life and empowering target groups to achieve a decent standard of living. 'The floor-raising strategies and initiatives outlined in 13MP are expected to sustain full employment levels and increase the contribution of employee compensation to the Gross Domestic Product by 40 per cent in 2030. '…the strategies and initiatives can also contribute to Malaysia achieving the 25th position in the Human Development Index and a 60 per cent women's participation in the labour force after a decade of the introduction of the MADANI Economy framework,' read the document. In addressing the living cost burden, the government is focusing on the issue of rising food prices and will take a comprehensive approach to tackle it by upgrading infrastructure, strengthening the food supply chain and retail sector and providing platforms to enhance price transparency. 'Enforcement efforts will also be amplified, while relevant laws will be reviewed to curb price manipulation activities. '…initiatives to offer goods and services, particularly food products at affordable prices, such as the MADANI Rahmah Sale programme, will be expanded to include more suitable localities, especially in rural areas,' the document added. Through the Rakan KKM initiative, the government will enhance healthcare services, allowing private companies to obtain paid services at public healthcare facilities, according to the document, adding that health insurance and takaful products will be introduced to allow the public to access services at affordable rates. It also noted that more quality affordable housing will also be provided for low- and middle-income groups in urban areas through the Residensi MADANI and Residensi Rakyat programmes, in addition to the expansion of the rent-to-own scheme.

GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- Less than 12 hours after the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), the Communications Ministry will hold a briefing session tonight for the MADANI Community and National Information Dissemination Centre (NADI) managers to explain the plan's implementation to grassroots policy drivers. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the online session will involve 1,878 MADANI Communities and 1,099 NADI managers nationwide. He said the session is important to ensure that the efforts and initiatives of the MADANI Government are understood and widely disseminated to the public.

We expect more than 3,000 people to tune in to the briefing,' he said at a press conference after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim presented the 13MP in the Dewan Rakyat today. Fahmi, who is also the MADANI Government spokesman, said the 13MP, themed "Melakar Semula Pembangunan" (Redesigning Development), reflects the ideals of the MADANI Government under the MADANI Economy framework for the 2026–2030 period. 'We take into account and understand the various opportunities presented by megatrends as well as existing domestic challenges. The 13MP aims to address all dimensions, including economic sustainability, people's well-being, environmental conservation and the strengthening of governance,' he said. He added that the 13MP also focuses on advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), with hopes of positioning Malaysia among the world's leading AI-driven nations within the next five years. Fahmi said the Communications Ministry will focus on developing the creative economy ecosystem and strengthening digital infrastructure through MyCreative Ventures and the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS), particularly in the animation industry. 'I'm glad to highlight efforts to strengthen the creative or 'orange' economy ecosystem, where we hope several initiatives will enhance competitiveness through the production of high commercial-value works for both domestic and international audiences,' he said.

RM611 Billion To Redesign Development Under 13MP
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today unveiled the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), a five-year national development roadmap that will see a total investment of RM611 billion from 2026 to 2030, aimed at transforming Malaysia into a more inclusive, sustainable, and technologically driven nation. The 13MP is built on four core thrusts, namely diversifying the economy, boosting social mobility, accelerating public service reform, and improving people's wellbeing and environmental sustainability. 'Since taking over power in November 2022, the MADANI Government has boldly and decisively charted a new policy direction for the country. 'This was made clear through the establishment of the MADANI Economy framework, anchored on sustainability, the well-being of the people, and governance with integrity,' Anwar said in his nearly 90-minute speech on the 13MP, themed Melakar Semula Pembangunan (Redesigning Development), at Parliament. The plan is underpinned by three fundamental pillars - the formation of a sovereign and dignified nation, the development of a people-centric MADANI social system, and the transition into an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered economy. Of the RM611 billion set aside under the 13MP, RM430 billion will come from the government's development allocation, RM120 billion from government-linked companies and government-linked investment companies (GLCs and GLICs), and RM61 billion through public-private partnerships (PPPs). More than half of the government allocation, or RM227 billion, will be directed toward the economic sector, while RM133 billion is earmarked for social sectors, including RM67 billion for education, RM40 billion for healthcare, RM51 billion for security, and RM17 billion for public administration. 'With the success of this plan, by 2030, we will not only have great material achievements and be able to produce high-value products, but we will also have people with big hearts, living unitedly, respecting each other's cultural diversity and having a strong identity. This is the dream of a Malaysia MADANI,' he said. Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said that the 13MP must be a collective national agenda, calling on individuals, communities, the private sector, and government institutions to work in unison toward the shared vision of a just and united Malaysia.
