SMIs in National Industrialisation Policy

April 9th, 2006

This is a recording of my in-situ response to a working paper as a panel speaker at the Kongress Ekonomi Nasional 2006 (KEN06) on April 9, 2006.

The working paper, Industri Kecil dan Sederhana: Satu tumpuan Dalam Dasar Perindustrian Negara (Small and Medium Scale Industries: A Focus in the National Industrialisation Policy), will be delivered by YBhg Dato’ Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin, President of Persatuan Pengilang Bumiputera Malaysia.

My panelist co-speakers are Khalid Samad and Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff but I was told the latter has to fly to Brunei and couldn’t make it the last minute.
