KUALA LUMPUR: A Vision for the Future!

The Human Resource Ministry has announced an ambitious plan to launch ten transformative initiatives as part of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), aiming to reshape the workforce landscape to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving labor market.

Adapting to New Realities!

In a vibrant statement released on September 10, the ministry highlighted that these initiatives are crucial for equipping the national workforce to tackle challenges posed by artificial intelligence, automation, demographic shifts, geopolitical instability, and the transition towards a green and gig economy.

Engaging Stakeholders for Inclusive Solutions!

To ensure a comprehensive approach, the ministry engaged with over 1,000 participants from diverse sectors, including government bodies, private companies, academia, and non-profit organizations. This collaborative effort was part of the recent Budget 2026 Engagement Session led by Human Resource Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong, with the support of Deputy Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad and senior officials.

Towards a People-Centric Future!

This engagement underscores the Madani Government’s commitment to creating a budget that puts people first, fostering an inclusive environment where all voices are heard.

This strategic direction promises to enhance human capital and propel Malaysia into a sustainable economic future.
