He said the MEB had discussed the papers related to the empowerment of bumiputera companies in government procurement through the mySTI Programme and the direction of implementation of the Wakaf MARA MADANI.

“As the highest platform that elevates the bumiputera agenda as a national agenda, MEB plays the role of the main platform in ensuring that all plans in the Bumiputera Economic Transformation Plan 2035 (PuTERA35) can be monitored for the effectiveness of their implementation,” he said.
