Last week, the outgoing Perikatan Nasional government announced the launching of ‘Perkukuh’, a three-year programme that targets to reform and future-proof six GLICs (PNB, Khazanah, EPF, LTAT, LTH and KWAP). We ask economist, Dr Nungsari Ahmad Radhi on the urgency and purpose of this programme, and what will happen now with the collapsed PN government.
