13MP signals a transformation in Malaysia’s economic landscape, focusing on high-value, high-growth industries like semiconductors, AI, renewable and carbon-capture energy, the green economy, halal sectors, and creative industries.
For Sarawakian youth, living in a state abundant with natural resources and land, this vision could unlock careers beyond the traditional, while also empowering entrepreneurs, digital freelancers, and local SMEs to connect with national and international value chains.
13MP recognises that economic growth must be supported by a workforce that is both skilled and flexible.
This entails reforms in education, vocational training (TVET), STEM, and technology upskilling, and aligning labour market demand with supply.
For young people in Sarawak, particularly those in rural areas, better infrastructure and digital connectivity could help remove obstacles tied to geography, economics, or social constraints, giving them access to better jobs or the chance to launch their own ventures.
13MP’s focus on governance reform, public service efficiency, and equitable resource allocation is particularly significant for marginalised and underserved communities.
By improving public services, developing rural areas, and implementing inclusive policies, 13MP could help remove long-standing inequalities, giving youth the tools and opportunities to pursue education, careers, or business ventures on a more level playing field.
