Malaysians overreacting to ringgit's fall and 1MDB issues, says economist


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are overreacting to small issues such as the ringgit's depreciation and 1MDB, says an economist.

"As a foreigner, 1MDB doesn't bother me, it's a small issue and I think the government has plans A, B and C in place, and they will do something about 1MDB," IQI Holdings Chief Economist Shan Saeed told Bernama in an interview.
