12th Malaysia Plan - Touchpoints

Setting the Strategic Direction for 2021-2025


The 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) sets the strategic direction for Malaysia’s development for the period of 2021 to 2025 as we move forward as a nation. It is transformational and injects fundamental reforms that will strengthen the development trajectory to achieve the objective of a Prosperous, Inclusive, Sustainable Malaysia based on the spirit of Keluarga Malaysia.



The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how businesses and government function and how people work, interact and manage their lives. It has also accelerated the need to adopt digitalisation and 4IR technologies. For this edition, we would like to focus on Boosting Digitalisation and Advanced Technology. These initiatives under the 12MP are expected to enhance national competitiveness and resilience, thus preparing Malaysia to be a high technology-based economy.
