KUALA LUMPUR: The opposition has called for a bipartisan committee to scrutinise the progress of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) and to identify more effective strategies for future implementation.
Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said today that the Malaysia Plan does not belong to any party, regardless of who is in power in Putrajaya.
He said the plan represents a continuation of national policies, forming an interconnected framework.
“Based on the principle of transparency and accountability, Tambun (member of parliament Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) and the cabinet members must walk the talk and explain to the people what is happening.
“I agree with Tambun that the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) is an endeavour for Malaysia’s future, a five-year national development plan for all Malaysians.”
He said this during a debate on the 13th Malaysian Plan in the Dewan Rakyat.
He said Perikatan Nasional is prepared to support any policy that benefits the people and the nation, provided such policies are fair and transparent.
13MP is a key policy document that will guide Malaysia’s development over the next five years, involving RM611 billion.
The 13MP, covering 2026 to 2030, sets out progressive and realistic goals to spur economic growth, raise household incomes and ensure inclusive development across all sectors.
