Abdul Khalid
Pullman Hotel & Residences, Kuala Lumpur
About 65 MABC members and guests attended the MABC VIP Luncheon with
Dr Muhammed Abdul Khalid, Economic Adviser to PM Tun Dr Mahathir at
Pullman KLCC Hotel & Residences. Dr Muhammed gave a very informative
speech on the current work of the government and what it intends to achieve
moving forward. 5 key focus areas namely: Education, Workers, Tourism,
Aerospace and Automation will be addressed and the relevant ministries
of the government are working towards improving performance in these
key focus areas. The session was then opened to the floor for Q&A. The
members of the audience asked questions on the new policies that are being
introduced and the government’s steps towards boosting aspects of industry
which need improvement. In addition, the audience also got the opportunity
to share their thoughts about issues they believe are important and further
understand some of the points Dr Muhammed highlighted in his speech. The
atmosphere certainly was engaging with an inquisitive audience who were
eager to understand the work the government is doing on the economic front.
