Promise 30: Support the economic growth of Bumiputera and all

citizens in the country.

Pakatan Harapan will ensure a healthier economic growth so that the

Bumiputera and all citizens in this country can enjoy equitable share of the
nation’s wealth. We will maintain Malaysia as a country that is economically

open, able to attract foreign investments, and strong enough, such that our

companies can invest abroad.

Domestically, our main focus will be to develop the SMEs. The SME sector

provides employment to more than 65 per cent of Malaysians. Our vision is
for the SMEs to be competitive in ASEAN and they can play an active role in

the global value chain, as well as contribute towards the Industrial

Revolution 4.0.

The Pakatan Harapan Government will give continuous support to qualified

SMEs run by Bumiputera and all citizens. Those who are able to expand to
other countries will be given assistance in capital and technology for them to

do so. The welfare of SME operators will always be guaranteed in all

international trade agreements, and we will not just look after the interests
of large companies and cronies the way UMNO and Barisan Nasional

operates today.

The Pakatan Harapan Government will give particular attention to the

economic development of the Malays and Bumiputera, so that they will
become a group that can stand tall when competing globally.

To guarantee continuous support for Bumiputera entrepreneurs, the
Pakatan Harapan Government will produce a comprehensive annual report

we discuss the topic. This report will be presented of Malay and Bumiputera

equity holding so that it becomes the right benchmark in order to achieve
