Anwar’s green agenda can outperform Mahathir’s grey vision - superadmin - 10-05-2023 Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s economic blueprint marked a distinct push for mega projects, but has consistently proven problematic for Malaysia. Over time, it became increasingly evident that these mega projects were more beneficial to a privileged inner circle rather than the Malaysian community at large. Among his more controversial pursuits was an undue emphasis on highway developments. His car-centric approach primarily benefited toll collectors, casting aside the broader advantages of a more sustainable transport model. Now, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has the opportunity to move away from Mahathir’s short-sighted vision and offer a much better economic model by embracing the overarching advantages of more innovative transport methods. - More -
