Malaysia committed to the SDGs when Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad addressed the SDG Summit in the United Nations in New York in September. It is commendable that the Economic Affairs Ministry and the UN Malaysia office are hosting the Malaysia SDG Summit tomorrow, where Dr Mahathir is expected to deliver the keynote address. This initiative will lead to members of parliament working with CSOs on SDG projects in their constituencies. Last week, I attended the UN ESCAP Sustainable Business Executive Council Meeting in Bangkok.
