The much-awaited NEM is now unveiled to both eager Malaysians and foreign investors. It is much less exciting than we initially anticipated. Apparently we still have not hit on the head of the nail!
Malaysiainsider has the following report:
KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today unveiled economic reforms that he said would make this country a developed nation by 2020 but provided few clues as to how he would get there.
“I pledge that we will work to develop and implement economic reforms needed for the country to grow further,” Najib told an investment conference here.
Najib said the “New Economic Model” will see more divestments of government holdings in listed companies and the government is still in consultation on the reform of its subsidy policy.
However, there was no timeframe for the new taxes and for cuts in a subsidy regime that sees Malaysians pay one of the lowest prices for petrol in Asia and that cost the country RM24.5 billion in 2009 out of 160.2 billion in federal government operating spending. — Reuters

What a pity and what a waste of time. Nothing much will change with this kind of fiscal policy. Wealth left over from older generation has mostly been wasted. Nowadays,what younger generation has is just houses, cars ,credit cards and debt. So, wake up, sibu, we either change voluntarily, or being forced to change involuntarily like America.
