Melaka, a technology powerhouse?


POLITICAL instability is unhealthy for any nation. Many socio-economic plans face implementation problems because of it. Malaysia has launched many sound blueprints to drive development; however, frequent changes in political leadership have stalled many of them. Now that the Melaka state election has been settled, no doubt Melakans are praying for a more stable government to help the state recover from the economic disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Melaka’s economy has been too dependent on tourism. It is unfortunate that tourism everywhere has taken the biggest hit during this health crisis. This only underlines the fact that Melaka urgently needs to diversify its economic base. Being dependent on just one sector is unwise.
