“The Mid-Term Review of the Eleventh Malaysia Plan: A Glimpse of the PH Government’s Future Economic Policy Directions” by Cassey Lee

 

2018/93, 19 October 2018

History repeats itself but often in slightly different ways.  So it is with the tabling of the Mid-Term Review of the Eleventh Malaysia Plan (MTR-11MP) on the 11th of October 2018 by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.  Some 34 years ago, in March 1984, Mahathir Mohamad unveiled the mid-term review for the Fourth Malaysia Plan (4MP) (his first since assuming power in 1981).  The Eleventh Malaysia Plan (11MP) is the country’s latest five-year development plan covering the period 2016 to 2020.  It serves as a tool for medium-term economic planning. The mid-term review of the Plan essentially takes stock of the progress achieved half-way through its implementation period.
