MHDR report authors defend ‘staggering’ findings


KUALA LUMPUR: The authors of a report commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are sticking to their claims that over 90% of Malaysians have no savings.

“Our findings may be staggering, but they derive from careful handling of reliable sources and address specific questions pertaining to inclusiveness,’’ the authors of Malaysia Human Development Report (MHDR) 2013 - Kamal Salih, Muhammed Abdul Khalid and Lee Hwok Aun - said in a statement yesterday.
