He said all plans must be swiftly implemented to strengthen the country's economic resilience against any external shocks or disruptions.

Finally some proactive planning from our leaders! The global economy is looking shaky and we need to protect our local businesses and workers. Hope these plans include support for small businesses too. 🙏

The Sarawak Gas Roadmap sounds promising! East Malaysia needs more development focus. But I wonder how this will actually translate to benefits for regular people like us? More details would be helpful.

While I appreciate the PM's concern, I hope these aren't just empty words. We've heard similar promises before. The proof will be in the implementation and actual economic results.

Good to see attention on economic resilience! Maybe they should also look at reducing our reliance on foreign workers in key sectors. Local talent development is crucial for long-term stability. 🇲🇾

The US tariffs are worrying but Malaysia has weathered storms before. What matters most is how we support our export industries during this time. Fingers crossed for good policies!
