Academics' reports, views on 13MP to be submitted to cabinet - Fahmi

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced that reports and opinions from academics on the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) will be presented to the Cabinet. The minister, also serving as the Madani government spokesman, expressed appreciation for academic involvement in evaluating and offering constructive feedback on the country's development plan.

He emphasized that the insights and recommendations from experts like those from INPUMA, Universiti Malaya were crucial considerations for all ministries, not just the Economy Ministry.

Fahmi highlighted the importance of good governance and a corruption-free environment for the successful implementation of 13MP projects. He stressed that the proper use of public funds is essential, ensuring that no abuse of power or funds, kleptocracy, or corruption occurs. During his speech at the launch of the 13th Malaysia Plan Public Discourse Conference, Fahmi urged the Finance Ministry to consider focusing on the development of the "orange economy" in their upcoming budget.

The conference aimed to gather perspectives from various stakeholders on economic and social issues in the country, along with identifying concerns and needs to be addressed in the implementation of the 13MP.
