Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on October 14 chaired the 150th Meeting of Menteri Besar and Chief Ministers in Kuala Lumpur and called for stronger federal-state cooperation under the proposed National Covenant framework introduced in Budget 2027, according to reporting based on Bernama. Anwar stressed the importance of aligning development allocations with local needs, infrastructure improvements and public welfare, to promote balanced and sustainable development.
The meeting also discussed post-quantum cryptography to strengthen national cybersecurity and protect government digital systems.
