Hello, it’s nice to see you guys again. So today I’ll share a topic on Malaysia government initiatives to increase the economic and income per capita.

First and foremost, I would to share a little about our lovely Malaysia.  As a Malaysian, you must know right Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country which including parts of the Malay Peninsular and the Island of Borneo. Malaysia have 14 state which can be seen by the red and white line on Malaysia’s flag. There’re so many races in Malaysia and the three main races are Malay, Chinese and Indian. Here in Malaysia, we also have many beautiful island such as Langkawi Island, Redang Island, Tioman Island and Perhentian Island. Malaysia also well-known as a country which have so many delicious food such as Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, Laksa, Lemang and so on..

So, we will proceed to our main topic which is Malaysia government initiatives to increase the economic and income per capita. Did you know about Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and Government Transformation Programme (GTP) in Malaysia? Some of you might know and some might not know. Okay, I’ll tell you a little bit what I have read about it. The Economic Transformation Program (ETP) is an initiative by Malaysian government to take Malaysia into a high income economy by the year of 2020. Government Transformation Programme (GTP) is an effort by Malaysia’s government to address seven key areas concerning the people of the country. You must have heard about Vision 2020 right? These two ETP and GTP are something like that. Performance Management and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU) is responsible to implement and monitor the ETP and GTP. These are some of Malaysia government initiatives to increase the economic and income per capita.

  

The industries that can increase the economic and income per capita of Malaysia are:

v  Oil and Gas

v  Financial Services

v  Tourism

v  Health Sector

v  Palm Oil

v  Education

v  Business Services

Oh before I forget, you know what is Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) and Pusat Transformasi Luar Bandar (RTC) right? Please say yes. Because you can see there’s a few UTC and RTC in Malaysia. I’ve been going to UTC in Keramat, Pudu and Selayang while for RTC I’ve been to RTC in Perak. These UTC and RTC are also one of the initiatives that government do to increase the economic and income per capita.

Okay, back to the industries. I will share about tourism industries in this post as I love to go for a vacation and it’s one of the biggest industries which contribute in the increase of economic and income per capita. What is tourism? Tourism is travel either within domestic or international for pleasure or business purpose. Under this industries there are few services, which are transportation, accommodation/hospitality, food & beverage and attractions.

 

As I had mention above, Malaysia is well-known as a country that have various kind of uniques and delicious foods. The most popular one is Nasi Lemak. Roti canai also kind of famous for breakfast besides Nasi Lemak. During Hari Raya Aidilfitri we can eat a lot of Lemang and Rendang. There’re also a lot of kuih-muih that very delicious. All of these food is one of the attraction that the tourist want to come to our country and increase our economy and income per capita.

             

Besides, the tourist come to Malaysia also because of our beautiful country which have various island, such as Langkawi Island, Redang Island and Perhentian Island. 

      

There're also many mountain and hill here such as Mount of Kinabalu, Broga Hill and Tabur Hill

      

For the women especially, in Malaysia, there're so many shopping mall such as KLCC, Pavillion, Bukit Bintang and so on..
