13MP expected to be tabled in Parliament on July 28
PUTRAJAYA: The 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) is expected to be tabled in Parliament on July 28, MADANI Government spokesman Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said today.
Fahmi, who is also the Minister of Communications, said that during today's Cabinet meeting, Economy Ministry secretary-general Datuk Nor Azmie Diron presented a briefing and a brief summary on the implementation of the 13MP.
He said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had requested all ministries to review the draft presented and provide feedback to the Economy Ministry soon before it is finalised for tabling in Parliament.
'I believe the tabling of the 13MP is expected to take place on July 28, 2025.
'This, Insya-Allah, will be the first Malaysia Plan to be tabled by the Prime Minister (Anwar),' he said at his weekly press conference here.
Yesterday, Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said that the 13MP would mark a turning point in the government's efforts to address national economic challenges, including development and income gaps, limited fiscal space, and the slow pace of structural economic transition.
The 13MP, which covers the 2026-2030 period, is one of the government's key policy documents for implementing the MADANI Economy agenda.
On another matter, Fahmi said the Prime Minister also reminded Cabinet members to continue efforts to upgrade and improve 30 schools located in military camps across the country.
He added that the Prime Minister was also satisfied with the progress of work on the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project by Lumut Naval Shipyard (Lunas), describing it as a commendable achievement.
'Projects like the LCS, which have been successfully undertaken and are able to be completed, including by local engineers, are a proud achievement,' he said.

Crackdown on online sale of banned products
PETALING JAYA: The government is ramping up efforts to crack down on the online sale of banned products, including vape liquids laced with narcotics, with a high-level meeting set to take place soon, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. Speaking at a weekly media conference yesterday, he said the meeting, involving the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, Health and Communications ministries, reflects growing concern over illegal products being openly sold online without adequate control. 'Following the meeting, we will present the outcomes to the Cabinet, which will be followed by appropriate action, either against the sellers or the platforms enabling such sales.' On updates to the Online Safety Bill, Fahmi said the next step is for the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to finalise a draft of the regulations that would be enforced under the Bill. 'Once that is done, a regulatory committee will be established by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), who will have oversight powers over the Bill's implementation. This process is expected to take place in the coming weeks.' Fahmi said there are no major updates regarding the Sales and Service Tax (SST), but the second finance minister is expected to provide further clarification soon. He said the government takes public feedback seriously, and that revenue from the expanded SST would be used to fund schools, hospitals and other public projects. 'With stronger efforts to curb leakage and corruption, we believe SST collections would benefit more Malaysians.' Fahmi said ministers were briefed on the draft of the 13th Malaysia Plan by Economy Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Nor Azmie Diron. The plan is expected to be tabled in Parliament during the session beginning July 21, and presented on July 28. Amid escalating regional tensions involving Iran, Fahmi said the Foreign Ministry has made arrangements for registered Malaysians, including those working, studying or representing agencies to depart Iran, with visa preparations completed. He said their departure is expected by June 20.

Malaysians to leave Iran by Friday
Evacuation order given as tension between Israel and Iran escalates PUTRAJAYA: Malaysian citizens who are in Iran will be evacuated on Friday, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil ( pic ). He said Malaysian students, tourists and embassy personnel will be assisted to leave the country. Fahmi, who is the government's spokesman, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had informed the Cabinet that only a small number of Malaysians are currently in Iran. 'They have been advised to leave the country. 'Visa arrangements have been finalised and they will begin departing within the next day or two, most likely by June 20,' he said yesterday. Asked whether evacuation units would be deployed, Fahmi said preparations had been made but for security reasons, specific details could not be disclosed. On June 13, Israel launched a series of strikes on Iranian territory, reportedly killing several high-ranking military officials and scientists. In retaliation, Iran fired ballistic missiles at several locations in Israel, resulting in multiple casualties and injuries. Wisma Putra confirmed that no Malaysians in Iran have been reported affected by the attacks. However, the Foreign Ministry has strongly urged Malaysians in Iran to leave immediately amid the heightened security situation following Israel's aggression against Iran. 'Given the rapidly deteriorating conditions, all Malaysians are strongly urged to leave the country immediately by any available means,' the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. In case of emergency, Malaysians in Iran may contact the Embassy of Malaysia in Tehran at address: No.25, 2nd Alley, North Zarafshan St., Shahrak-e-Gharb; phone number: +98 21 8807 2444, +98 21 8807 8606, +98 933 535 2602 or e-mail: mwtehran@ /
