Dr M: SVP2030 to produce bumiputra with integrity
KUALA LUMPUR: The government aims to nurture a new generation of bumiputera who hold firmly to good moral values and integrity through the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 (SPV2030) launched last Saturday, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said that through the SPV 2030, the government wants the new generation of bumiputera to be a generation of diligent, hardworking, dignified and patriotic people who are prepared to do anything to save the country and reduce dependence on foreigners.
“Opportunities will be given to bumiputera with already proven eligibility and capability. Those who are yet to be eligible will be provided with assistance, training and necessary support to increase their chance of success.
“The ultimate goal of all the efforts taken by the government is to ensure that all people, regardless of race, will achieve a reasonable standard of living by 2030,” he said during question time.
Mahathir said this in reply to Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang (PAS-Marang) who wanted to know the government’s efforts to narrow the economic and social gap between Malay bumiputera and non-Malay bumiputera in the country through the SVP2030.
