PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan may not be able to fulfil all of its election pledges in the next six months, but it should come up with a clear roadmap on how and when it will deliver its promised reforms, say economic experts.
Universiti Tun Abdul Razak lecturer and programme director of its Global MBA Program, Dr Barjoyai Bardai, said Pakatan needed to roll out an economic master plan for the next four years as many people were still waiting for a clearer direction on the economy.
Malaysian Institute of Economic Research executive director Dr Zakaria Abdul Rashid said there was an urgent need for the government to implement measures to stimulate the economy and deal with concerns over rising prices. “The roadmap must include the implementation schedules and stages for the more difficult reforms to assure the impatient public, whose expectations may have been elevated too much,” he said.
“If it can improve further on the communication and messaging side , people will realise that it has done a lot of things,” he said.“The government is looking at certain issues such as affordable housing. However, this kind of problem cannot be addressed overnight.“Pakatan needs to go to the ground and explain to the people,” he added.
