Teraju Allocates RM100 Million for Bumiputera Prosperity Fund (DKB)

KUALA LUMPUR – The Bumiputera Agenda Steering Unit (Teraju) has approved an allocation of RM100 million for the newly introduced Bumiputera Prosperity Fund (Dana Kemakmuran Bumiputera – DKB) to drive strategic private sector investment and sustainable economic growth.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Special Functions), Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof, said DKB is a reimbursement-based grant program designed to act as a catalyst for strategic investments by qualified Bumiputera companies.

The fund prioritizes investments in manufacturing, agriculture and bioindustry, digital economy, engineering services, and property development on Malay reserve land, wakaf land, or native customary land in Sabah and Sarawak.

“In addition, key priority sectors in corridor regions include oil and gas, logistics, and ruminant farming in Sabah and Sarawak,” he said during a press conference on Tuesday.
Also present were Deputy Minister Datin Mastura Mohd Yazid and Teraju CEO Md Silmi Abd Rahman.

Redzuan said the DKB program is one of the government’s strategic efforts to stimulate economic growth and encourage new investments from eligible Bumiputera enterprises.

“One of the main objectives is to provide a ‘tipping point’ that makes high-impact projects more viable and competitive, while also creating jobs at all levels and promoting sustainable growth through the use of advanced automation technologies,” he added.

Funding Scope and Eligibility
The program will support components such as the purchase of machinery and equipment or infrastructure development projects.

Eligible projects must fall within the following cost ranges:
• RM500,000 to RM100 million for machinery and equipment purchases
• Minimum RM2.5 million to RM100 million for infrastructure-based development

The maximum financial support offered under DKB will be up to 10% of eligible project costs or RM2 million, whichever is lower, and will be reimbursed after verified project execution.
The initiative aims to empower Bumiputera businesses to scale competitively, especially in sectors aligned with national strategic priorities.
