KUALA LUMPUR: The government is committed to prioritising enabling policies over direct intervention to drive creativity and growth in key industries for the 13th Malaysia Plan , Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli said.
"The government’s role should be to enable and facilitate, allowing industries to leverage their creativity and expand independently, which requires policies that strengthen the overall ecosystem,” said Rafizi at the final engagement session with industry representatives for the 13MP here today. Rafizi said the service sector is expected to dominate Malaysia’s economic activities over the next 10-20 years, aligning with the rise of ASEAN as a major global economic power.
