I REFER to the news reports quoting Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali that the government will undertake a review of the New Economic Policy (NEP) to meet the aspirations of New Malaysia. He deserves praise for taking one of the most important steps to lead the country on a sustainable growth trajectory.
As the New Economic Model (NEM) report states, Malaysia needs to review the NEP to be competitive in the domestic and external sectors in order to grow at least 6%-7% annually in the next few years. Only with steady sustainable growth can we expect to become a fully developed economy in the true sense of the word.
