MASA Policy Development Programme

YB Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Muhyiddin Haji Mohd Yassin, Chairman of MASA with MPDP 2.0 Grant Recipients.

MASA Policy Development Programme (MPDP) 3.0 will focus on more strategic and impactful policy research, with the main theme being "Bumiputera Empowerment and Shared Prosperity" The provision of grants will add value and serve as a balance against existing policies such as PuTERA35. This research is also a continuation of MASA's initial efforts in publishing the ‘Bumiputera Socioeconomic Report: Current Situation’.

To achieve this goal, MPDP 3.0 has been introduced as a holistic and innovative policy research initiative. This program aims to produce high-impact policy proposals that can strengthen the position of Bumiputera across various sectors, aligning with national aspirations to ensure more inclusive and sustainable development policies.

With the support of public and private higher education institutions, industries, and government agencies, MPDP 3.0 not only offers research grants but also opens avenues for strategic collaboration towards empowering national policies. MASA is committed to continue its role as a catalyst for quality research and urges researchers and industry experts to participate in MPDP 3.0 to shape more sustainable policies for the Bumiputera community and the nation as a whole.
