JELI – The 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK12) will be tabled once Parliament is allowed to sit, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.
RMK12 is ready for tabling and is being constantly updated, among others, in terms of numbers and strategies as it takes into account the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, he told reporters after visiting the Malaysian Armed Forces Family Housing project site near here today.
Mustapa said the National Development Implementation Committee would also monitor every project under the federal government this year to check whether it is progressing according to the plan to revive the country’s economy.
Mustapa, who is also the co-chairman of the committee, said this is to ensure that construction projects under RMK11 are not disrupted even though the country is still reeling from the epidemic.
“The allocation for the development sector this year is RM69 billion, but there were reports that we could not spend all the money. This is a matter of concern.
“Next week, the Economic Planning Unit will hold a workshop involving all ministries to look into cash-flow requirements to identify the problems faced such as land management...these will be zeroed into so that we know how much has been spent this year,” he added. – Bernama, March 7, 2021
