Contributing Towards Nation Building
Contributing Towards Nation Building
Nation building can be defined as a process which leads to the formation of countries in which the citizens feel a sufficient amount of commonality of interests, goals and preferences. It can also reflect efforts to make a country fully modernised and knowledge-based with the private sector as the key growth driver.
To this end, the Malaysian Government has formulated policies such as the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 and the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (12MP) to promote sustainable growth and a decent standard of living for all. Anchored on these strategic directions, businesses and society can complement nation building efforts as a shared responsibility. PLCs in Malaysia can contribute to nation building through their respective initiatives and actions. Companies that invest in efforts to enhance their performance generate positive spillover benefits to the nation.
The Guidebook aims to embed a nation building mindset in Corporate Malaysia through the suggested imperatives and the calls to action to help companies either get started or continue on their nation building efforts. These efforts by PLCs are envisaged to contribute towards a stronger economy while increasing the attractiveness and investability of listed companies in Malaysia by strengthening the growth narratives of PLCs.
