Journey of TERAJU
The Bumiputera development agenda in Malaysia has undergone several significant phases of transformation since its inception. This journey reflects the government’s ongoing commitment to empowering the Bumiputera community within the broader context of national development. The Bumiputera Agenda Action Council (MTAB) marked an important starting point in coordinating Bumiputera development. Chaired by the Prime Minister, MTAB was mandated to oversee Bumiputera development, with the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) under the Prime Minister’s Department (JPM) acting as its secretariat.
The evolution of the Bumiputera development agenda coordination in Malaysia demonstrates the government’s ongoing commitment to empowering the Bumiputera community. Through various structural transformations and the strengthening of its mandate, TERAJU now serves as a pivotal force in driving the Bumiputera agenda. With continuous reviews and strategic restructuring, Malaysia is committed to ensuring that the Bumiputera agenda remains not only relevant but also highly effective amid the growing challenges of national development.
