Malaysian Plan


The Malaysia Plan is a 5-year Malaysian government national development initiative. The plan is a legacy from British colonial rule in Malaya after the Second World War.

The 5-year plan began with the First Malaya Plan, from 1956 to 1960. This initiative was continued with the Second Malaya Plan from 1961 to 1965.


After the formation of Malaysia in 1963, the 5-year plan has been converted to the Malaysia Plan (MP) with the First Malaysia Plan which began in 1966 until 1970, the difference being that the economic plan now included the entire nation – including Sabah and Sarawak, as opposed just Peninsular Malaysia.
