00:08We need a capital market that support companies not only when they are already large, but when they are ready
00:18to grow.
00:19We need a market that helps promising enterprises move from local strength to regional scale and from regional scale to
00:30global exposure.
00:33This matters because the future economy will reward countries that can move capital with purpose.
00:41It will reward markets that are trusted, companies that are well-governed, and economies that can turn investment into real
00:52productivity.
00:54InsyaAllah, Malaysia is building that ecosystem.
00:58A capital market that does not merely raise funds, but unlocks ambition.
01:06A capital market that does not merely support companies, but helps create national champions.
01:16Ladies and gentlemen, this brings me to an important point.
01:20Malaysia's next phase of market development must be anchored not only in size, but in quality.
01:28Investors today are looking for stronger governance, better capital allocation, and clearer strategy.
01:38Yes, profit matters.
01:41But in today's market, companies must also be credible, sustainable, and accountable.
01:49This is the purpose of my value-up.
01:53It moves our market from a culture of compliance into a culture of active value creation.
02:03It encourages companies to look beyond quarterly performance, communicate their long-term strategies with greater clarity,
02:13and demonstrate how they intend to build enduring value.
02:17Hence, to reinforce my value-up agenda, I am pleased to announce that the largest GLICs, namely EPF, PNB, and
02:33Coop,
02:34will allocate a portion of their capital to support companies that demonstrate a strong commitment
02:42to value creation and adoption of my value-up.
02:48My value-up principle.
02:50The GLAP is not encouraging enough for this treatment.
03:02Ladies and gentlemen, this will ensure that companies embracing stronger governance,
03:10better capital allocation, and higher standards of transparency are recognized not only by the market,
03:18but also by Malaysia's largest institutional investors.
03:21This is an important signal.
03:25Malaysia wants a capital market that is not only larger, but better, creating a market that rewards discipline, accountability,
03:37and long-term value creation.
03:40We want Malaysian companies to be better governed, better valued, and better prepared to compete regionally and globally.
03:50But essentially, I see this beyond the market alone.
03:55I see it in the economy we want to build.
04:00The true measure of success is not only how much capital we attract, but how far that capital creates jobs,
04:10opens opportunities, and improves lives.
04:13I want growth to reach our SMEs, TVET students, entrepreneurs, young rural communities, and regional growth centers.
04:24A strong capital market must support not only large corporations, but the wider ecosystem of enterprise, innovation, and opportunity.
04:36Malaysia enters this next phase with confidence.
04:41Our fundamentals are strong.
04:45Our investment momentum is clear.
04:48Our capital market is growing.
04:51Our companies are being challenged to create greater value, and our institutions are aligned toward a more competitive future.
05:00But the next chapter will not be written by plans alone.
05:06It will be written by education, by how quickly we move, by how clearly we decide, by how strongly the
05:17government, investors, institutions, and industry work together.
05:23Malaysia's next leap will not be defined by the uncertainty around us, but by the clarity and execution within us.
05:33Today, we are together.
05:36Together, let us transform reforms into results, investment into value, and ambition into achievement.
05:47TODAY, we will thank you so much for welcome today.
