KUALA LUMPUR: Former economy minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli is expected to raise key concerns over Malaysia’s economic direction, including the government’s policy priorities and their impact on people’s lives, in the Dewan Rakyat today.
The Pandan member of parliament said these concerns would be raised during his debate on the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), scheduled for 3pm today.
“I will be taking part in the debate session on the 13MP in Parliament.
“Several key issues will be addressed, including the country’s economic direction, the government’s policy priorities and its direct impact on the lives of the people,” he said in a statement via X today.
Previously, Rafizi had expressed his appreciation to the staff of the Economy Ministry for ensuring that the key reforms initiated during his tenure were retained in the 13MP, which was tabled in the Dewan Rakyat last Thursday (July 31).
Rafizi had said that although he has not gone through the document in full, an initial reading of the executive summary shows that around 95 per cent of the reforms developed during his time in office have been preserved in the plan.
He added that many key economic initiatives launched during his tenure, including the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), KL20, the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), the ‘Made by Malaysia’ branding, and the shift towards a consumption powerhouse economic model, remain part of the plan.
