KUALA LUMPUR: The government remains firmly committed to supporting and strengthening policies and initiatives aligned with bumiputra economic aspirations, to ensure lasting benefits for both current and future generations, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister said a follow-up discussion with key stakeholders will be held this Friday (May 23) to further refine the direction and implementation of the agenda.
"As a nation that upholds balance and stability as foundations of development, efforts to narrow economic disparities between communities must be pursued with strong and coordinated commitment, across ministries, agencies, and the private sector," he said in a Facebook post Wednesday (May 21).
Ahmad Zahid, who chaired the 2024 Bumiputra Economic Congress (KEB), said this after reviewing a presentation by Economic Ministry secretary-general Datuk Nor Azmie Diron on the "One-Year Post-KEB 2024 Retreat" at his office Wednesday.
Held from Feb 29 to March 2 last year, KEB 2024 outlined more than 80 resolutions aimed at enhancing Bumiputera socio-economic empowerment.
These resolutions were the result of engagement sessions conducted through 10 clusters covering various key areas during the three-day congress. - Bernama
