Mohamed Azmin described the vision as a pledge to affirm the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government’s commitment to the implementation of fair and equitable treatment across races, income classes and regions.
In the pursuit of industrial excellence, the PH government will not abandon its responsibility in championing the poor urban and rural communities, he said, adding that this vision ensures that prosperity and wealth will be enjoyed by them.
He said the stability and integrity of the administration in championing good governance principles, transparency and accountability would gain the confidence of foreign and domestic investors in making Malaysia their investment destination.

Mohamed Azmin said the WKB2030 will stimulate the imagination, creativity and capacity of the millennial generation to take Malaysia to the pinnacle of industrial excellence.
