The Shared Prosperity Action Council announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Sept 29 is a golden opportunity to prioritise the goal of regional inclusion and reduce socioeconomic disparities among Malaysian states.

Regional inclusion is the sixth strategic thrust of Shared Prosperity Vision (SPV) 2030. SPV 2030 is a commitment to make Malaysia a nation that can achieve sustainable growth that is fairly and equitably distributed across income groups, ethnicities, regions and supply chains to provide a decent standard of living for all citizens by 2030.
