The workshop, organized by the Musyawarah Nasional secretariat, aims to translate the agenda into actionable policies and measurable results. Zahid emphasized that the agenda should not remain a mere political proposal but must directly benefit the people. He vowed to include it in Barisan Nasional's official manifesto for the upcoming election. The agenda, proposed by Umno as part of its vision for Malaysia's centenary, comprises eight initiatives focusing on wealth creation, human capital development, ownership expansion, wellbeing improvement, resilience strengthening, people care, trust restoration, and national interest protection. After the Melaka state assembly is dissolved, Umno will mobilize its resources to assist the state, subject to the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Melaka's consent.",
