Following the large interest and success of the previous economics forum we organised last month, I felt it was necessary to build on that interest and create a momentum of awareness and information sharing with Selangorians (and all Malaysians interested in attending) on the state of our economy and what its future holds for us.
This time around I’ve invited onto the panel of speakers, renowned economists and academics from our very own University Malaya – Dr. Terence Gomez & Dr. Cheong Kee Cheok, in addition to Teh Chi-Chang (whose presentation at the last forum particularly drew tremendous attention and saw positive engagement with the participants during the q&a).
I hope we see a similar large turnout, and as well informative engagement during the forum. Do join us as its open to the public and admission is free. A location map can be found on the SACC website.
Below is the detailed programme. See you there.
