Ample opportunities: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak showing the 11th Malaysia Plan 2016-2020 book in Parliament.

I HAVE long harboured thoughts that the five-year Malaysia plans have been overblown in effectiveness.

The five-year plan centralises too much power with the Federal Government to the detriment of state and local governments. State governments become beholden to long roadmaps set out by decision-makers far away.
