“Coupled with the incentives to further catalyse the digital economy – specifically the RM1 billion in incentives to attract investments from Fortune 500 and global unicorn companies in high technologies, manufacturing and new economic sectors, bolstered by talent readiness initiatives to prepare the Malaysian workforce for the new economy, the Government’s holistic approach to lifting the overall economic landscape is commendable. Investing in the necessary platforms and infrastructure to strengthen socioeconomic well-being sets a clear precedent on how they intend to execute on the new Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 (SPV2030).”
