Kerajaan lancar pelan 5 tahun dengan 429 ikhtiar tangani kos sara hidup

Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim officially launched the National Living Costs Action Plan 2030 (NCLAP30) in Melaka today, outlining 429 initiatives across 35 strategies to tackle rising living costs and improve citizens' well-being. The five-year plan, encompassing eight strategic clusters, serves as the national framework for executing various living costs initiatives through a comprehensive government approach.

The clusters include revenue, food, health, education, transportation, housing, utilities, and public sectors, with private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and community cooperation essential for their successful implementation.

The two main focuses of NCLAP30 are increasing citizens' income and stabilizing prices of essential goods and services. Minister of Trade and Living Costs, Armizan Ali, stated that the plan also includes continuing and enhancing existing initiatives, committing fiscal resources, and introducing new measures to address living costs issues. Moreover, NCLAP30 aligns with Malaysia's core goals, such as the MADANI Economic Framework and Malaysia 13 Vision.

NCLAP30 is overseen by the National Living Costs Action Plan Council (NACCOL), which now has a broader mandate to monitor the execution of all living costs initiatives across ministries and government agencies. Previously, NACCOL's role was primarily research and development, focusing on new initiatives and living costs issues. However, the council is now responsible for comprehensive monitoring of the implementation of the 429 living costs initiatives.

Armizan Ali emphasized that the success of the plan relies on cooperation from the private sector, NGOs, and the public, ensuring that the benefits of each initiative reach every Malaysian effectively. The launch ceremony took place at the Hang Jebat Sports Complex in Kuala Krau, with Deputy Minister of Trade and Living Costs, Fuziah Salleh, in attendance.
