Zafrul isn’t the best, but at least it isn’t Azmin, says Chin Tong - superadmin - 08-28-2021 PETALING JAYA: Tengku Zafrul Aziz’s reappointment as finance minister may not be ideal, but at least it wasn’t Azmin Ali taking the post, says DAP’s Liew Chin Tong. “I feel if Azmin Ali had been appointed finance minister, it could have been a catastrophe,” said the former deputy defence minister on Bandar Utama assemblyman Jamaliah Jamaluddin’s virtual talk show “Spill The Tea, JJ”. Liew also said it was good that an Umno leader did not take over the finance portfolio, since the prime minister was already from the same party. Describing the Cabinet line-up as “Muhyiddin Yassin’s Cabinet without Muhyiddin”, he hoped Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s new government would be able to overcome the current political, health and economic crises. He said the finance ministry and the government must come up with a package or game plan to navigate the impact of the pandemic, with at least more aid for B40 and M40 households to stimulate the economy. - More - |
