Last month, Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said the ministry’s biggest bets are on the digital and green economy – which intersect in many areas – and to scale up tech talents in a targeted way so as to build the necessary capabilities.

While the move by the country to focus on the green economy is a noble one, they said factors like less intervention by the government, appropriate tax and market driven policies should be implemented for the nation to thrive as a regional leader in energy transition.
