The Economic Transformation Program is an initiative by the Malaysian government to turn Malaysia into a high income economy by the year of 2020. It is managed by the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU), an agency under the Prime Minister Department of Malaysia.

Launched on September 21, 2010, it is a comprehensive economic transformation plan to propel Malaysia's economy into high income economy. The program will lift Malaysia's Gross National Income (GNI) to US$523 billion by 2020, and raise per capita income from US$6,700 to at least US$15,000, meeting the World Bank's threshold for high income nation. It is projected that Malaysia will be able to achieve the targets set if GNI grows by 6% per annum.

Set to revitalize Malaysia's private sector, the 60% of the blueprint's investment would derived from private sector, 32% from government linked companies and the remaining 8% from the government. Various sectors for development have been identified and are called National Key Economic Activities (NKEA).

The Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) has conducted laboratories to study how to implement Malaysia's goal of becoming a high-income country by 2020. As of 2010 131 entry point projects (EPPs) and 60 business opportunities have been identified by the laboratories. It is estimated that these initiatives will generate RM500 billion of national income annually and create up to 2.2 million jobs by 2020. 92 percent of the necessary funding is slated to come from the private sector.

The labs took place over a period of two months in the summer of 2010. 425 people from the government and private sector took part. 211 companies have taken part, including Shell, Exxon-Mobil, MYDIN, Sime Darby, Genting Plantations, Petronas, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Celcom, Ericsson, Maybank, Tesco, Sunway Medical Centre, Masterskill University College, The Body Shop, AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines, RapidKL and Digi Telecommunications.

Since 92% of the total investments will originate from private sector, the sector is much involved in the planning of this transformation blueprint. A workshop had been organised by Performance and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU) to identify the 12 National Key Economic Activities (NKEA). The NKEA is the key driver to the success of this program as such activities have the potential to contribute significantly to the growth of the economy of Malaysia.

There are 131 entry point projects (EPP) identified under the NKEA, which includes a high speed railway connecting Penang to Singapore and MRT in Kuala Lumpur.

Economic activities that are categorized as NKRA will be prioritized in government planning and funds allocation. Policies will be amended to facilitate fast track implementation of such activities, including liberalizing the market and removal of bottlenecks.

Under this policy, private companies are invited to get involved, with PEMANDU pushing for the implementation to speed up the implementation. Among the companies that are involved in the transformation programme are YTL, Shell Malaysia, Airasia, Hovid Inc, Select-TV, Exxon-Mobil, Dialog Group, Tenaga Nasional, Cisco.

As of 2010 the energy sector has been an important part of Malaysia’s economic growth and constitutes about 20 percent of GDP. The Malaysian government plans to increase diversification of the energy industry, increase exploration for new oil and gas resources, enhance production from known reserves, and encourage the use of alternative energy source such as nuclear, solar, and hydro-electric. The government is working to meet these goals 12 of what it calls "entry point projects" or EPPs. The government wants the energy sectors contribution to gross national income to rise from RM110 billion in 2009 to RM241 billion in 2020. Achieving this goal will create more than 50,000 new jobs with large proportion of these being for skilled professionals such as engineers and geologists. Achieving these goals will require RM218 billion in funding. The government claims only 1 percent of this funding will come from the public sector. An extra RM64 billion will be needed to make up for the expected decline in oil production. Tax rebates for improved energy efficiency are expected to cost RM12 billion.

As of 2010 Malaysia’s palm oil industry is the fourth largest component of the national economy and accounts for RM53 billion of gross national income. The industry covers the value chain from plantations to processing. The development of this industry is mainly private and remains heavily oriented towards plantations. With limited land available to continue the expansion of plantations, the government desires to increase efficiency in production and focus on providing great value through downstream activities. The Palm Oil NKEA is designed to increase total contributions to national income from the palm oil industry by RM125 billion to reach RM178 billion by 2020. The government hopes that 41,000 new jobs will be created in this sector.

Palm oil related EPPs will focus on upstream productivity and downstream expansion. These EPPs will focus on replanting of aging oil palms, mechanising plantations, stringently enforcing best practices to enhance yields, implementing strict quality control to enhance oil extraction, and developing biogas facilities at palm mills to capture the methane released during milling. Downstream expansion and sustainability will be achieved by capturing the lucrative market segments that focus more on refined products such as oleo-derivatives, food, health products, and bio-fules.

The government says these projects will require funding of RM124 billion over the next 10 years with 98 percent of the funding coming from the private sector.

From 2006 to 2009 financial services constituted 10.9 percent of Malaysia's gross domestic product. The government believes that lack of economies of scale, poor liquidity, lack of diversity, low levels of financial knowledge, and competition from other regional financial centers such as Hong Kong and Singapore are significant problems for this sector.

The government aims to increase the financial industry's contribution to gross national income from RM121 billion as of 2010 to RM180 billion in 2020. The Financial Services NKEA calls for creating 275,000 jobs in this sector with 56% of those jobs offering an average compensation of RM4,000 per month. These goals will be achieved by strengthening core financial services, creating new services and institutions oriented towards serving those with high incomes, developing avenues for growth such as expanding the asset management business, and pursuing business overseas, especially attracting foreign capital and becoming a center for Islamic banking.

Pemandu predicts that RM211 billion will be required to reach these goals by 2020. The public sector is slated to provide 4 percent of this investment.The government is working to facilitate these goals by making Malaysia's business environment more attractive for international capital, attracting and retaining talented professionals, reducing regulation, and lowering taxes.

JOHOR BARU, 26 Nov — Presiden PKR Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail berkata skandal dan penyelewengan Umno-BN, yang berkuasa sejak lebih lima dekad lalu, semakin ketara sehingga menjadi bahan jenaka rakyat termasuk dengan sindiran “lembu-lembu kondominium.”
‘Lembu-lembu kondominium’ menjadi rujukan kepada masalah yang menyelubungi projek ternakan lembu Pusat Fidlot Kebangsaan (NFC) menggunakan dana awam RM250 juta dan dikaitkan dengan keluarga Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, yang merupakan Menteri Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat dan Ketua Wanita Umno.
Ekoran pendedahan Laporan Ketua Audit Negara akhir bulan lalu, PKR menjadikan sebagai isu dan ia kini disiasat oleh polis.
Pemimpin PKR mendakwa sebahagian wang itu digunakan untuk membeli dua unit kondominium mewah di Bangsar.
“Mujurlah rakyat Malaysia ini kuat berjenaka – bila wang berbilion ringgit dibazirkan membeli peralatan perang terpakai yang tidak berfungsi, rakyat Malaysia berseloroh tentang kapal selam yang tidak boleh tenggelam.
“Bila wang ratusan juta yang sepatutnya sampai kepada penternak hilang di tengah jalan, rakyat Malaysia berjenaka tentang lembu-lembu di kondominium,” kata beliau dalam ucapan dasar pada Kongres PKR Kelapan di sini hari ini.
Di bahagian tajuk kecil “Pentadbiran Beramanah”, Dr Wan Azizah berkata, muafakat dalam Pakatan Rakyat kian matang dan pimpinan PKR di semua peringkat harus memastikan bahawa ikatan itu kian mantap malah kerjasama intim ketiga-tiga parti harus diadakan di semua peringkat.
“PKR akan teguh dan kukuh bersama Pakatan Rakyat menuntut Islah, reformasi yang murni dan benar serta menolak kezaliman, penindasan, penyalahgunaan kuasa dan rasuah.
“Sejak tsunami politik 2008 kerajaan-kerajaan negeri Pakatan Rakyat, Kelantan, Selangor, Pulau Pinang, Kedah dan Perak (sebelumnya dirampas secara rakus), kita telah buktikan keupayaan kita membanteras rasuah, melaksanakan tata kelola yang lebih baik dan mampu mengagihkan kekayaan negeri kepada rakyat,” kata beliau lagi.
Sebaliknya gelagat Umno-BN, kata beliau, masih di takok lama dengan keanggkuhan dan kerakusan kuasa.
“Malah lebih ketara skandal rasuah dan penyelewengan mereka,” kata beliau lagi.

Kõik ühiskonnad ja rahvad püüdlevad arengut. Aga kuidas me määratleme areng ja kuidas mitmekesisus arengule kaasa aidata? Ajal, mil mitme vaatenurga alt on raske vastu tarkust, kuidas pühendunud erinevate arvamuste ja lähenemiste eelnevalt arengu kasu kogu ühenduses?

Need olid küsimused, kes otsivad vastuseid konverentsil nõukogu Aasia Demokraatide ja Liberaalide (CALD) Bali eelmisel nädalal. Esindades Singapur Demokraatide olid Dr Vincent Wijeysingha ja pr Jaslyn Go.

Õigus Pluralism ja Arengu Aasias: küsimused ja väljavaated, konverentsi eesmärk oli selgitada rolli pluralismi riiklike ja piirkondlike poliitika.

Pluralism on üldjoontes määratletud kui "usk või kohustus, mitmekesisus ja paljusus." See on seotud poliitilist mitmekesisust, mis liitus kaitsmine isikuvabaduse ja arendada diskussiooni, argument ja mõistmist.

Aga kuidas pluralism arengule kaasa aidata? Hilja, Singaporeans on maadelnud seda küsimust. Kas areng saab mõõta ainult SKP kasvu? Või peaks ühiskonnas pöörama tähelepanu erinevatele soove ja unistusi kõikide kogukondade ja üksikisikute?

Teisisõnu peaks areng on näha üksnes kui funktsiooni, kui palju raha on pangas või peaks see sisaldama jõukuse valmistatud ja jaotatud nii, et iga kodanik võib väita, et viia täitmisel ja mõtestatud elu?

On selge, et Singaporeans tööle pikka aega, on vähe aega, et alustada peredele ja elada üks stressirohke kultuuride maa peal isegi kui SKP tõuseb. Läbiviidud uuringute viimase kümne aasta jooksul kodumaiste teadusasutuste nagu Institute of Policy Uuringud näitavad, et noorte arv, kes väljendavad soov emigreeruda või teha aktiivset plaanis seda teha, on hüppeliselt kasvanud.

Ühiskonnad, mis pluralistlik, et teha ruumi erinevate arvamuste, hoiakute ja väärtuste, on pidevalt leitud, et on kõige õnnelikum ja kõige rahulolevamad kodanikkond. Nobeli majandusteaduse võitja Prof Amartya Sen väidab, et tõeline ja kestev edu võib tulla üksnes kogukonna, millel on vaba mõelda ja välja töötada, mis omakorda laiendab maastik edasisele arengule.
