Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy), Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, announced the Government of Malaysia’s plans to launch the Digital Economy Masterplan in October 2020, following its approval. This Masterplan is an initiative to expand all sectors of the economy, including the non-manufacturing sector.
Speaking at the launch of the “Menjana Ekonomi Digital @ Pasarman.com” in Kuala Lumpur on the 13th of August 2020, Mustapa stated that whilst the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MITI) had introduced the Industry 4WRD initiative in 2019 only for the manufacturing sector, MITI has decided to expand the policy to accelerate growth in other sectors of the Malaysian economy.
