He said the strategic roadmap would incorporate a new dimension and approach to tackle the imbalance in income and wealth creation among Bumiputeras.
The roadmap is aimed at enhancing Bumiputera wealth creation and this could be achieved through three inter-related drivers: to earn higher income through better education and employment; to enhance and unlock the value of Bumiputera-owned assets and to enhance Bumiputera corporate ownership and control.
“The survival of the Bumiputeras depends on the success in implementing this transformation,” he said at the launch of the roadmap this morning.
Present at the function include deputy prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, cabinet ministers and corporate leaders.
Najib assured that although the roadmap is aimed at Bumiputeras, Malaysians of all races would be able to enjoy its benefits.
He also assured that the government would continue to look into the needs of the 40 per cent low-income group which encompassed all races.
