KUALA LUMPUR – Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today agreed to put all Bumiputera-related affairs under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Department, with the prime minister himself as the minister in charge.

“I, personally, and the government, generally, will examine this document in detail for further action.

His statement follows the passing of resolutions at the congress.

One of the resolutions agreed on is that Mara and YaPEIM will be the first two agencies to come under the Prime Minister’s Department.

Muhyiddin reiterated the Perikatan Nasional government’s commitment to implementing the Bumiputera agenda, especially when it comes to empowering human capital and increasing Malay participation in the economy. – Bernama, October 1, 2020
