PETALING JAYA: An MP says the country’s “highest ever” trade surplus achieved last year is nothing to be proud of as it is a result of a very weak domestic economy.

Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming also said the domestic economy is likely to remain lacklustre this year.

Previously, senior minister for economy Mohamed Azmin Ali said Malaysia achieved its highest ever trade surplus last year in a statement of the country’s external trade statistics.

The trade surplus grew by 26.9% from RM145.7 billion in 2019 to RM184.8 in 2020.
