PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim moved to plug a leadership gap at the centre of Malaysia’s growth agenda, appointing a close ally of former economy minister Rafizi Ramli to take over the Economy Ministry and naming a tycoon-cum-politician to lead the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti).
Industry observers have well received the appointment of the 39-year-old Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir as the new Economy Minister and the 61-year-old Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani as the new Miti boss.
