“If you have been trying to make sense of what is usually reported about how well Malaysia’s economy is doing and what many ordinary citizens are experiencing on the ground, feeling the pinch of rising costs of goods and services, transport and housing, we invite you to participate in the forum,” Rose said in a press release.Speaker Azrul Azwar is an economist with two decades of experience in financial markets, public policies, strategic planning and general investments.
“Through this discussion and sharing of knowledge, particularly in policies and government actions that affect the people and their lives directly or indirectly, Rose aims to bring about greater voter and citizen awareness that our everyday lives and realities are closely connected to what government does or does not do.
