TN50 no rejection of Vision 2020 - PM Najib

Embracing the National Transformation 2050 (TN50) does not mean rejecting Vision 2020 and instead, it is to ensure that the country could meet its objectives and targets as desired by the people, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

"Some people say we are rejecting Vision 2020. We are not rejecting it. It is a continuity. Besides using other approaches such as national discourses and dialogues, we want to create a national strategy with an implementation and monitoring plan.

"This is because when we set out TN50, we want to ensure that we can achieve the goals as desired by the people," Najib said to a supplementary question from Datuk Dr Abd Latiff Ahmad (BN-Mersing) at the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.

Abd Latiff wanted to know whether the public could accept TN50 and in his original question, he asked the government to state the strategies taken for the public to understand TN50.

TN50, mooted by Najib when tabling the 2017 Budget on Oct 21 last year, is a futuristic policy for charting the country's direction over a period of 30 years after 2020.
