THE tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (2026-2030) in Parliament marks a significant milestone in charting the nation’s medium- term development course. The plan presents an opportunity to reset priorities, build resilience, and steer the nation towards sustainable and inclusive growth.

In general, the plan must be commended for its intent to address critical national challenges such as income inequality, digital transformation, green economy transition and institutional reform.
