“The Prime Minister has agreed that a permanent secretariat must be formed soon and placed under the Bumiputra Economic Council chaired by the Prime Minister,” Ahmad Zaid said yesterday.

He also said he has been given the responsibility of being the secretariat steering committee chairman, whose purpose is to monitor and prompt the implementation of the resolutions as approved by the Bumiputra Economic Council.

“At the same time, a working committee will be chaired by Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli,” he added.
