ALOR SETAR: The government is not hastily pursuing developed nation status, but the country's improving economic growth has put Malaysia on the right track to achieve this status by 2028 to 2029, says Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli.
"I don’t think the current government policy is focused on chasing developed nation status. It's just that if the recent impressive economic growth is maintained for the next few years, it will automatically make us a developed nation," he told reporters after an engagement session on the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) with the Kedah state government here on Monday (Jan 20).
