Navigating the Swamp

With the appointment of a new Finance Minister- notably, former CIMB Group CEO Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Aziz- questions have surfaced over what kind of a minister he will be, and what kind of a policy direction the new government will set in these trying economic times. Will someone with no political background be able to navigate the bureaucratic swamp? For all this and more, we speak to Ali Salman, CEO of the Institute of Democracy and Economic Affairs, for his take.
