KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged Permodalan Nasional Bhd and Pelaburan Hartanah Bhd to double their efforts to raise investment literacy among the public, especially the Bumiputera community.
Anwar, who is also finance minister, said Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Bhd must remain committed to empowering Bumiputera entrepreneurs through access to financing and support in enhancing business capacity and capabilities.
“I urge that all government-linked agencies and companies entrusted with the Bumiputera development mandate continue to be drivers of policy and key implementers of government initiatives, particularly through the Bumiputera Economic Transformation Plan, which has already been launched,” he said on X today.
Earlier, Anwar chaired the Bumiputera Investment Foundation board of trustees meeting to review the performance of companies under the board this morning.
He also said strengthening the competitiveness of the domestic economy and ensuring sustainable returns for unit trust holders are crucial in facing global economic uncertainties.
