Consider This: Governance (Part 2) - Ideology And Policy Trade-Offs

In a recent joint statement, The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs as well as the Center for Market Education, expressed concern over what it believes to be insufficient debate on economic policy and its long-term consequences. The think tanks cite as examples the special EPF withdrawals, the management of MySejahtera, price ceilings placed on chicken and RTK tests, as well as revision of the minimum wage. How do we ensure there’s more substantive discussion around economic policy decisions? And would that lead to better governance? Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Dr Carmelo Ferlito, CEO, Center for Market Education.
