Malaysian Incorporated Policy
Introduction
The Malaysia Incorporated Policy is a strategy for the attainment of a competitive, dynamic, robust and resilient economy.

The pursuit to improve Malaysia's competitive advantages to match competing nations in the international marketplace must necessarily be the strategic intention of the Malaysia Incorporated Policy.
The concept of Malaysia Incorporated was propounded by the Honourable Prime Minister in 1983 as one of the fundamental bases of national development. While the concept has been accepted into the framework for development, its operational reality on the other hand is less evident, and indeed little understood by-our society.
The Honourable Prime Minister has broadly defined the concept of Malaysia Incorporated to mean a system of cooperation between the Government and the private sector towards the creation of a Malaysian company to achieve progress and where the profits accruing will be shared by all. The government is a shareholder in this company, and if the company progresses and makes profit, a portion will accrue to the government and subsequently to the people as a whole. The Honourable Prime Minister has on various occasions underlined the relationship between the respective roles of the public and private sectors under this concept. In this symbiotic relationship, the public sector is expected to function efficiently to support the efforts of the private sector as the main engine of growth of the national economy.
