25,000 people are set to benefit from the Bakat Madani initiative over the next year, from mid-2026 through 2027, after its launch in Seremban on 29 June by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The programme brings together government-linked investment companies (GLICs), government-linked companies (GLCs), and Petronas to strengthen skills training, create jobs, and improve social mobility.
