Contradictheory: Economy in need of leadership, by whatever name, NOW


The Malaysian economy is lost at sea, in dire need of clear leadership, and soon. — 123rf.com

Some time last year, I asked a consultant from a leading technology services company why businesses in Malaysia seemed slow to digitise themselves. The government is keen to see Malaysia go “digital” and all indications are that we might be left behind by countries like Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam, and to some extent Thailand.

His answer then was simply that Malaysian companies were waiting for the new government to settle in. I honestly wonder what he would say if I asked him again now.
