According to Amirul Feisal Wan Zahir, the Khazanah Nasional Bhd. Investment Counselor, the budget allocation aims to strengthen Malaysia's long-term competitiveness and economic growth by prioritizing the well-being of the people. This includes reducing living expenses, increasing wages, and expanding opportunities.\n\nWan Zahir emphasized that the 2027 budget focuses on quality growth by targeting strategic sectors and industries such as semiconductors, energy transition, infrastructure, corporate development, and talent. This is vital for strengthening Malaysia's industrial base, enhancing economic complexity, and creating higher-value opportunities for business and labor. The budget also maintains an inclusive approach to ensure national development benefits all segments of society, including workers, youth, entrepreneurs, bumiputera-owned companies, micro, small, and medium enterprises (PSMKs), and communities that need to enhance their resilience against economic challenges and climate change.\n\nThe 2027 budget's focus on vendor development, innovation, and access to new markets will create even more opportunities for Bumiputera-led business growth. Khazanah will continue to support Malaysia's economic and development priorities through Impact Fund, Venture Capital, Ciptawan Fund, Heritage Fund, K-Youth, Madani Talent, Hasanah Foundation, and other platforms that foster company development, talent, innovation, community resilience, and national competitiveness in the long term.
