KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to announce several new initiatives under the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (MITRA) for the benefit of the Indian community at the Dewan Rakyat tomorrow.
Deputy Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Datuk Seri R Ramanan confirmed the matter during the wind-up session on the debate on the motion of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) at the Dewan Rakyat today.
He said the new initiatives would have a bigger impact on the socio-economic development of the Indian community and ensure they continue to be supported and will benefit from national development.
“This step also reflects the MADANI Government’s continued determination to lift the role of the Indian community as a partner in the country’s development through inclusive, progressive approaches based on comprehensive impact,” he said.
The MADANI Government would use a new approach that is more strategic and effective in crafting new initiatives and programmes under MITRA, he added.
