COMMITTEE TO STUDY ECONOMIC REVIEW RECOMMENDATIONS
Assoc Prof Faishal also announced the upcoming formation of a new committee to study the recommendations of the government’s Economic Strategy Review, which was launched in August last year.
Led by Members of Parliament Dr Wan Rizal (PAP-Jalan Besar) and Mr Saktiandi Supaat (PAP-Bishan Toa Payoh), the Committee for Economic Resilience or Jawatankuasa Daya Ekonomi, will comprise corporate leaders and industry experts across various segments of the Malay-Muslim community.
They will study the recommendations from the Economic Strategy Review, understand what it means for the community, and identify practical ways to better support workers, professionals, entrepreneurs and young people, said Assoc Prof Faishal.
