M'sia doing worse than neighbours due to emergency, half-baked lockdowns - Najib

Malaysia has once again slipped into a technical recession as its economy contracted by 4.5 percent in the third quarter of the year, said former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Najib linked the country's economic performance to the seven-month nationwide emergency and suspension of Parliament during the tenure of former premier Muhyiddin Yassin.
