I am a technocrat, not a politician, says Finance Minister II Amir Hamzah

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan (pic), who helmed the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) before being appointed Finance Minister II in December 2023 following a Cabinet reshuffle, sees himself as more of a technocrat than a politician.

The former corporate man stressed that after efforts made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, such as the introduction of the Madani Economy Framework and the rolling out of a series of policies to lure more foreign and domestic direct investments, his main role now is to help the Prime Minister put Malaysia in a better position going forward.
