KUALA LUMPUR: The economic reform agenda, moving forward, has to look different and even consider unorthodox ideas given the unusual pandemic situation, to ensure the nation strides confidently into the future, said Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.

He said the bigger challenge for Malaysia’s economy today is the capacity to generate new ideas, products, innovative business models, and production techniques, as well as the ability to diffuse them quickly through the economy.
