All government-related entities at the federal and state levels in Malaysia must align their policies to ensure the country’s sustainable growth. Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said one of the key mechanisms to achieve the mission is by strengthening the bottom-up feedback system in Malaysia. He said this would ensure a better integration and cooperation on policy matters, as well as improving the coordination of action plans to reduce mismatch between real needs and plans in urban areas. This effort is also in line with Malaysia’s vision to be a Sustainable Urban Nation in the next decade, fulfilling the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030. “All these, undoubtedly, require concerted efforts by ministries and agencies at the national, state and local levels to work together to align our policies and strategies to ensure our future growth will take place in a more responsible, integrated and sustainable manner,” he said at the Malaysia Urban Forum 2020 themed “The Transformative Pathway and Actions To Deliver The Sustainable Agenda” in Kuala Lumpur.
