Education reform in 13MP vital for Malaysia's economic evolution, says Rafizi
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's current economic framework lacks the complexity required to transform the country into a developed nation, leading to low value creation, says a former Cabinet member. Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli (PH-Pandan) stated that the low value creation prevents employers from offering wages that meet the expectations of Malaysians, who desire a standard of living comparable to that of developed countries. 'We still face difficulties in transitioning from a resource-based and extraction economy to an industry based on innovation and value creation to compete with developed nations, and this is closely related to existing issues,' he said when debating the 13th Malaysia Plan at the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Aug 4). Rafizi, a former Economy Minister, added that the education system fails to produce the skilled workforce and expertise needed for a complex, high-value economy. 'Although many talented individuals in our country excel in their SPM exams and graduate from foreign universities with scholarships, a significant number of them end up trapped in careers within multinational corporations (MNCs) and government-linked companies (GLCs). 'These positions do not allow them to take risks and create greater value, unlike their peers in places like Silicon Valley, who strive to innovate and lead,' he said. Rafizi said this was the reason why the 13MP, which was drafted during his tenure, highlighted the need for educational transformation through the introduction of mandatory early childhood education, starting at the age of five. 'Other countries invest their resources during early education, not at the university or Form 5 level and so on. 'That's why, when you look at 13MP, we didn't specify figures such as how many billions are allocated; rather, the commitment to providing universal preschool education means that whoever becomes the next government must prioritise ensuring that schools across the country, within the next five to 10 years, are able to deliver robust services,' he said. He also pointed out that schooling should end earlier, at the age of 16, as Malaysia is progressing towards an ageing nation. 'This is so our children can start entering the workforce earlier, at the age of 21,' he said. Rafizi also said that teachers and educators should be provided with adequate resources and training to elevate their professional status. He said that while the school's syllabus is important, so is the quality of teachers. 'That's why we need to accept the fact that we have previously neglected the professional development of teachers. 'In 13MP, once this becomes a policy, future governments must allocate the necessary resources,' he said. Rafizi said the 13MP mandates the establishment of a National Education Council that would catalyse the implementation of educational policies across ministries and sectors. 'Education should not be solely managed by the Education Ministry, as everything in our country starts from the classroom. 'Classrooms determine the type of engineers that emerge and shape our national economy,' he said. On July 31, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim tabled the 13MP, a five-year plan covering the period from 2026 to 2030, which provided a strategic framework for Malaysia's economic, social, and environmental priorities. He stated that a total of RM611bil would be required to ensure the success of 13MP, covering the whole nation, including Sabah and Sarawak.

13MP rolls out reforms aimed at strengthening Malaysia's legal framework
KUALA LUMPUR: The 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) is set to drive a series of legal reforms aimed at improving the legal landscape and the lives of Malaysians. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said more than 80 proposed legal reforms and amendments were outlined in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's presentation, with about 30 falling under the purview of the Legal Affairs Division. "We hope this five-year plan under the 13MP will pave the way for new laws that can improve the lives of most Malaysians," she told a press conference today. Azalina added that various ministries are also using the 13MP debate period to advance their respective legislative priorities. "Once the 13MP is passed, we expect a surge in legislative activity by the third week, including the tabling of new laws and amendments to existing ones," she said. "This is a positive development, as it reflects the country's progress through the adoption of new approaches." On July 31, Anwar tabled the 13MP in the Dewan Rakyat, outlining the nation's development direction from 2026 to 2030. The five-year plan focuses on reshaping national development through policies and initiatives that promote unity, improve public well-being, strengthen environmental sustainability, and accelerate economic growth. Key reforms include institutionalising an efficient and effective government, enhancing fiscal resilience, and delivering people-centric services. The plan also proposes nation.
