“Malaysia is facing global economic uncertainties, arising from the trade war. The SPV2030 will make Malaysia’s economy more robust,” he said.

“It will herald a new injection for the national economy to jump to a high-income economy, strengthening the purchasing power of the masses, and narrowing the income and development gaps between classes, ethnic groups and territories.”

He said the SPV2030 would also strengthen national unity and strengthen Malaysia’s stability as a democratic nation.
