EAC must not fail

THE Economic Action Council (EAC) was set up out of necessity, and not because the ministers are incompetent. On this matter, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had to publicly counter the views of his no-nonsense media and communication adviser Datuk A. Kadir Jasin.

Kadir dropped a bombshell in his blog when he argued that the move to set up the EAC could be due to the Cabinet’s inability to handle issues pertaining to the economy.
