The Economy Ministry will launch MyRMK, a real-time monitoring system for the 13th Malaysia Plan, focusing on goal achievement, not just project progress
KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Economy will introduce an integrated monitoring system called MyRMK for the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) starting next year.
Minister of Economy Datuk Seri Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir said MyRMK functions as a dynamic and continuous monitoring system, not merely a static plan.
He stated the system can provide real-time updates on project progress and the achievement of policy objectives set under the 13MP.
“Through MyRMK, evaluations will not focus solely on the physical progress of projects, but also on whether the implementation truly achieves the intended goals and objectives,” he said in the Dewan Negara.
Akmal Nasrullah was responding to a question from Senator Tan Sri Low Kian Chuan regarding monitoring the effectiveness of the 13MP.
He said this approach aims to enhance implementation effectiveness and improve monitoring efficiency.
It also strengthens the government’s ability to make faster and more precise policy adjustments, particularly to narrow the urban-rural development gap.
He added that the 13MP will place greater emphasis on execution and effectiveness, as the planning framework is already in place.
Earlier, responding to Senator Datuk Wira Koh Nai Kwong, Akmal Nasrullah said the 13MP emphasises accelerating high-growth, high-value (HGHV) industries.
The focus is also on high-impact strategic sectors to narrow income and high-paying job disparities between urban and rural areas.
“The development of these industries and sectors is capable of generating high-skilled jobs, offering competitive wages, attracting quality investments, and expanding supply chains into less-developed regions,” he added.
Beyond HGHV industries, the 13MP outlines initiatives to bridge development gaps and increase employment opportunities.
These include driving new growth based on local potential and attracting high-quality investments in regional economic corridors. – Bernama
