MALAYSIAN ECONOMY OUTLOOK
OPINIONS
Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah
In December 2009, Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri
Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah acknowledged Malaysias loss of
competitiveness and decade-long economic stagnation.
Unlike former compatriots South Korea, Singapore and
Hong Kong which have all progressed, Malaysia is still
elusively seeking to escape the middle-income trap.

MALAYSIAN ECONOMY OUTLOOK
OPINIONS
Professor Dr Terence Gomez
The NEM made clear that Vision 2020 is not possible without
economic, social and government transformation which was
urgent and radical. It proposed market-friendly affirmative
action measures, focusing on the bottom 40% of low-income
households. This prompted speculation, and perhaps hope, in some
quarters that the government would move away from distortionary,
race-based affirmative action policies.

OPINIONS
Danny Quah
Quah says 40% of government spending is currently paid
for by petroleum revenues, which would dry up by 2014.
And 20% of government spending goes towards subsidies
alone. In response to a reference to the recent Are we
going bankrupt? controversy, Quah says, Controversy?
Hardly a controversy, its just arithmetic.

CONCLUSION
Knowledge based economy is focused on the
production and management of knowledge in the frame
of economy constraints. In other words it refers to the
knowledge and technologies to produce economic
benefits and as well as job creation which they already
did and it leads us to the construction of High tech city
near Kuala Lumpur called Cyberjaya which is good
news.


RECOMMENDATONS

Malaysia needs to maintain its edge over it competitors
since there growing competition from other emerging
market. It will be very hard and challenging for
Malaysia since there are new technologies are on their
way. We have to realize what we need and why we
need. We have to do investment on our IT departments
so they can introduce to us new and modern
technologies.
