He said the the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 has legal measures to ensure no crony gets government contracts and that those who do receive them will be punished in law. Dr Mahathir said Vision 2020 failed because the two previous administrations did not continue his original plans, adding that if they did, Malaysia would have reached developed nation status by next year.
Dr Mahathir added that by doing giving a proper assistance through education training, financing and building infrastructure where they were most needed, Malaysians as a whole will have a higher purchasing power, which will lead the country to become an economic powerhouse. The prime minister also revealed that his Cabinet’s weekly meetings were mostly to keep tabs on corrupt practices within the government.
