She said this when commenting on the recently ended Bumiputera Economic Congress 2024, which outlined over 80 resolutions as part of the Bumiputera empowerment agenda in the digital age.In parallel, the associate professor said that the evolution of transport infrastructure acts as a conduit to unveiling the rich cultural tapestry of remote Bumiputera regions, fostering tourism and cultural exchange.
“Enhanced connectivity not only bridges the gap between remote farms and bustling markets but also mitigates the challenges of produce spoilage, a pivotal step towards bolstering the agricultural value chain. “Improved connectivity through infrastructure projects like the new East Coast Rail Link and East Coast Expressway is expected to enhance food security along the East Coast region of Malaysia,” she added.Wan Mazlina said that investing in the construction of new roads, highways, railways as well as in public transit systems, and high-speed rail, along with improving causeway links and ferry services, and expanding airports, will also generate employment opportunities for Bumiputeras.
