The 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP)

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on Thursday outlined five key strategic thrusts under the 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP) to enable Malaysia become a high-income and developed nation by 2020. You can read the executive summary here (Malay Version).

My time does not permit me to read and understand the plan blueprint thoroughly yet. The followings are just a few excerpts from the summary:

• Pendekatan pembangunan di bawah RMKe-10 akan memberi keutamaan meningkatkan keselesaan hidup di bandar sebagai tempat yang sesuai untuk tinggal, bekerja dan beriadah, melalui inisiatif seperti
  pembangunan kluster baru, menaik taraf pengangkutan awam serta pembangunan semula. Bandar raya Kuala Lumpur dan kawasan sekitarnya (Greater KL) akan dimajukan sebagai bandar bertaraf dunia.
  
  
  

  Najib also said that in line with the "Greater Kuala Lumpur" NKEA (National Key Economic Area), the government would further enhance the public transportation network in Kuala Lumpur with the implementation of the high-capacity Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system.

  "When completed, the system is expected to cover a radius of 20km from the city centre with a total length of about 150km, and when fully operational, will serve up to two million passenger trips per day from the 480,000 trips on current urban rail systems," he said.

  Alhamdulillah, my home is just within 20km radius from the city centre, right at the border. Hope to see some improvement in urban living with the expectation of high quality environment for those areas within the radius.

• Memperluas dan mempertingkat kekayaan Bumiputera bagi memastikan pemilikan secara kekal dan berterusan, berdasarkan pendekatan penggemblengan dana dan pemilikan aset melalui institusi termasuk hartanah.
  
  
  

  Insyaa Allah will strive for it.

• Prestasi pelajar akan diutamakan dengan meningkatkan kecemerlangan guru dan akauntabiliti guru besar dan pengetua.
  
  
  

  Thinking of Ummi, Aiman and.... teacher and student.
