This pledge is part of BN's proposed \"Agenda Malaysia Biru\", a roadmap of eight initiatives aimed at shaping the country as it approaches its centenary of independence. The agenda, if implemented, will focus on strengthening national wealth, human capital, ownership, well-being, crisis preparedness, public protection, institutional trust, and national interests.",
