Anwar challenges GLCs, GLICs to empower Bumiputera economy

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 8 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has emphasised and challenged the heads of government-linked investment companies and government-linked companies to lead meaningful proposals and initiatives related to Bumiputera economic development.

Anwar, who is also finance minister, said this through a post on X today after attending the first meeting of the Bumiputera Economic Council (MEB) for 2025 yesterday.

He said the MEB had discussed the papers related to the empowerment of Bumiputera companies in government procurement through the mySTI programme and the direction of the Wakaf Mara Madani.

“As the highest platform that elevates the Bumiputera agenda as a national agenda, MEB plays the role of the main platform in ensuring all plans in the Bumiputera Economic Transformation Plan 2035 can be monitored for the effectiveness of their implementation,” he said.
