The institute

KUALA LUMPUR: Policy makers should take into account the household income disparities among different states in Malaysia when formulating policies to achieve their targeted objectives, Khazanah Research Institute (KRI) argues.

The institute’s research director Suraya Ismail said if policy makers did not root their policies in the context of the different realities faced by households in different states in the country, then they would likely miss their policy target.
