KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) aims to generate value via targeted, high-impact investments totalling RM2.2 billion by 2030, including carbon credit initiatives and high-value property developments.
Its director-general Datuk Zulfikri Osman said these initiatives are strategically designed to strengthen MARA’s asset base, diversify revenue streams, and enhance long-term portfolio resilience.
“The carbon credit initiative is expected to involve an area of more than 200,000 hectares with potential revenue of up to RM450 million by 2030.
“MARA will also launch three high-impact property developments, namely Signal Hill in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah; Ampangan in Negeri Sembilan; and Jalan Maktab in Kuala Lumpur, with an estimated gross development value of RM1 billion, which is expected to be completed by 2030,” he said at a press conference in conjunction with MARA’s 60th Anniversary here today.
Meanwhile, he said MARA plans to generate income through MARA MADANI Wakaf, which is also targeted to achieve the target through the development of a wakaf ecosystem worth 1 billion.
“At the same time, MARA will implement an enterprise resource planning system, which is expected to be completed in December 2026, to increase efficiency and transparency of the organisation.
“With that, we remain committed to ensuring that every investment provides an economic and social impact that benefits the country and the people,” said Zulfikri.
At the same time, Zulfikri said MARA’s investment company, MARA Corporation Sdn Bhd (MARA Corp Group), has achieved a significant reduction in accumulated losses, reflecting improved financial governance and effective rationalisation measures.
“MARA Corp Group has managed to reduce its accumulated losses position to RM558.9 million by end-2025 from RM862.1 million in 2023.
“Hence, we aim to reduce the accumulated losses position to RM49.7 million by end-2026 before achieving an accumulated profit position by 2027,” he said.
He said that between 2024 and 2025, MARA recorded a 10 per cent increase in revenue, rising from RM1.53 billion to RM1.69 billion, amid a challenging macroeconomic environment.
