THE MCA Economic and SMEs Affairs Committee welcomes the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (2026-2030) by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Thursday, in particular, the emphasis on fairness, sustainability, and inclusivity. These are the three core principles for Malaysia’s future development and are exactly the type of reform our current economy and society urgently need.

Only by moving towards a development path that is genuinely fair and professionally driven can our economy and society reach their full potential.
