ONE of the key objectives of the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) is to implement more developments in less developed regions and states, with the aim of dispersing the benefits of growth while narrowing economic disparity among regions.
The regional areas mentioned in the 9MP included the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, southern Johor and Sabah and Sarawak. These regions are being targeted to become the new growth centres or growth corridors, as the urban areas are already stretched to the limit after many years of expansion.
