PM Anwar open to new urgent projects in Kelantan despite RMK13 allocations
KOTA BHARU: The government remains open to reviewing new and urgent project proposals from Kelantan, even though major projects have already been allocated under the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13). Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that project prioritisation was determined through direct engagement with the state government. 'We have presented RMK13, but new applications have been submitted, and if they are urgent, we will study them, especially flood mitigation, water supply, energy, and hardcore poverty eradication,' he said. He added that the national budget process would consider RMK13 while reviewing additional priorities. Anwar spoke at the closing ceremony of the Kelantan 2025 MADANI Rakyat Program at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium. Present were Science Minister Chang Lih Kang, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Chief Secretary Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, and Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. Anwar noted that engagement sessions have been streamlined to include state government input. 'Every state visit includes a session for feedback and monitoring of ongoing projects to ensure effective implementation,' he explained. On the MADANI Rakyat Program, Anwar said it strengthened government-community ties. 'Through this program, we aim to understand public concerns and elevate initiatives needing attention,' he said. The three-day event, led by MOSTI, featured over 100 public services and tech exhibitions. It was supported by ICU JPM and multiple government agencies. - Bernama

Anwar reiterates call for large companies to 'adopt', support schools
KOTA BARU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reiterated his call for large private companies to get involved in helping schools in the country by adopting them as 'foster schools'. "Each company should adopt one school as a foster school, and my target is for 300 schools to be adopted because we have many big companies," he said in his speech at the closing ceremony of the Madani Rakyat Programme here today. Also present were Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. It was previously reported that the Finance Ministry was finalising an additional list for the implementation of the Madani Adopted School programme this year, which involves 1,000 schools, with an allocation of RM100,000 provided for each school. Education Ministry secretary-general Datuk Dr Aminuddin Hassim said that in the first phase, 504 schools under the ministry were selected by government-linked companies (GLCs), government-linked investment companies (GLICs), and private corporations. This initiative is a strategic collaboration between government agencies and educational institutions, namely schools, to enhance social development and character building among educators and local communities. Meanwhile, Anwar reiterated his hope that scientists in the country play a role in nurturing students' interest in pursuing scientific careers, especially in fields based on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). He said the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) has been tasked to identify 100 scientists who will 'go into the field' to visit schools, providing guidance to students on what they need to do to become scientists. "Today, since the Madani Rakyat Programme is managed by MOSTI and we have many scientists from universities and agencies, what MOSTI can do is select 100 scientists to visit schools to inspire children about what they should learn to become scientists. "At the same time, this approach will encourage students to be more interested in Mathematics and Science subjects," he said. Anwar described today's programme as an opportunity for the government to connect with and deliver information directly to the people, while highlighting programmes that need attention from government agencies. "At the same time, the people get to see firsthand what the government is doing," he said.

Penang aims for RM156 bln GDP by 2030 with digital economy plan
GEORGE TOWN: Penang aims to boost its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from RM116 billion in 2023 to RM156 billion by 2030 under the newly launched Digital Economy Master Plan (DEMP) 2025-2030. State Infrastructure, Transport and Digital Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the plan targets raising the digital economy's contribution to 35 per cent of Penang's GDP by 2030. The state also aims to attract RM20 billion in digital investments, including in integrated circuit design, and RM130 billion in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Zairil added that the plan includes socio-economic goals such as increasing median household income by 17 per cent to RM7,700 by 2030. It also seeks to create 50,000 new digital jobs and upskill 30 per cent of the workforce. 'The Penang DEMP 2025-2030 is not just a document, it is a blueprint for action, a call to build a connected, competitive and inclusive digital Penang,' he said. The plan aims to transform civil service delivery, increase digital-ready businesses, and position Penang as a hub for emerging technologies. Other targets include reducing energy intensity by 25 per cent and increasing renewable energy usage to 10 per cent by 2030. Zairil noted that the DEMP is structured around four strategic pillars: Digital Government, Digital Economy, Digital Society, and Digital Foundation. These pillars are supported by 16 initiatives to ensure Penang achieves its vision and strategic goals. Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the DEMP serves as a long-term roadmap to position Penang as a digital-first economy. He emphasised the plan's focus on innovation, infrastructure, talent development, and inclusive digital access. 'The digital economy plays a vital role in our economic resilience, contributing significantly to our services sector, which adds up to 50 per cent of the state's GDP annually,' Chow said. He added that the plan includes strategies to empower mature workers and senior citizens through accessible digital tools and skilling programmes. Chow also highlighted the success of the previous Digital Transformation Master Plan (DTMP) 1.0, with over 60 per cent of initiatives completed or ongoing. The DEMP 2025-2030 represents a commitment to advancing Penang's digital ecosystem through collaboration between state and federal governments, industry players, and technology leaders. - Bernama
