Govt to beef up bumi economic agenda


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 Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).

The Deputy Prime Minister said a follow-up discussion with key stakeholders will be held tomorrow 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 yesterday, Bernama repor­ted.

Ahmad Zahid, who chaired the 2024 Bumiputra Economic Congress (KEB), said this after reviewing a presentation by the Economy Ministry secretary-­general Datuk Nor Azmie Diron on the “One-Year Post-KEB 2024 Retreat” at his office yesterday.

Held from Feb 29 to March 2 last year, KEB 2024 outlined more than 80 resolutions aimed at enhancing bumiputra socio-­economic empowerment.

These resolutions were the result of engagement sessions conducted over 10 clusters cove­ring various key areas during the three-day congress.
