PM gives greenlight for Perak development master plan, says MB

IPOH: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has given the go-ahead for the Perak government to implement a development master plan to make Perak a high-income state with a viable economy, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said here.

He said Najib had responded positively after the plan, dubbed Perak Amanjaya, was submitted to him in Putrajaya on March 1.

Perak thus becomes the first state to have a long-term economic development plan in line with the National Key Result Areas (NKRA), he told reporters after a dinner with livestock breeders here on March 1.

"This development policy accords priority to the New Economic Model," he said.

Dr Zambry said the Perak Amanjaya proposal had been submitted to the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) in Putrajaya. -- Bernama
