Addressing weak and contracting private investments

“Private investments should be a key priority for the government as its vitality is critical for sustaining our economic growth on a sustained basis, raise future growth potential, create high income jobs and increase exports,” Socio-Economic Research Centre (SERC) executive director Lee Heng Guie told StarBiz.
