[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli gave Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin (Larut-PN) a lecture on economic growth in the Dewan Rakyat today, claiming that the opposition leader lacks knowledge on the matter. 

This is after the Perikatan Nasional secretary-general questioned the accuracy of figures provided by Rafizi.

“I am thankful because now the whole country and the world can see that the opposition leader doesn’t understand the concept of economic growth,” he said, drawing laughter from the House.

Earlier, Rafizi was explaining the decision behind the setting up of the National Economic Action Council, which he noted will assist the government in planning, implementing and monitoring the economy.

For this purpose, the minister said the council will act as the government’s principal economic adviser, with a focus on coordinating decisions across the various ministries and agencies to resolve structural economic issues.
