The above are representation from every sector and industry available in Malaysia from arts, movie producers to Automotive, heavy industry and telecommunication. Having received our memorandums, we gathered for a 4-hours of debate, discussion and Q&As at the Multi-purpose Hall, Ministry of Finance that start at 9am this morning.
The council was open for registration at 8:00am. YAB Prime Minister & Minister of Finance arrived at 8:55am and the meeting began with an Opening Speech by YAB Prime Minister. YAB PM then continued to chair the meeting and explained that the session will be divided into 3 sections with the Macro view being the first, secondly, the Sectoral issues and Micro as the second part.
After a 15 minutes Q&A, the session was continued with the Micro aspect and the first speaker was Dato' Wong Siew Hai, Chairman Malaysian American Electronics Industry whom presented the topic "Upscaling the Competitive Edge in Manufacturing". The second speaker, President Malaysia Service Providers Confederation (MSPC) Datuk Haji Zakaria Hashim spoke on "Spurring Higher Value Service Industries". The sectoral issue ended with a Q&A session.
The final topic on Sosial issue was tabled by Mr Richard Wee Thiam Seng, Council Member for the National Young Lawyers Committee (Putik Lada) on "Strengthening Participation of the Rakyat in Nation Building". The second presenter was Mr Wan Saiful Wan Jan, Founding Chief Executive Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS).
I was attracted by Richard Wee Thiam Seng's proposal to expose the school children on Federal Constitution to educate the public from the youngest generation. I also share the same idea as Wan Saiful Wan Jan whom had worked with the Conservative party, United Kingdom to eradicate all duplication in authorities. Wan Saiful Wan Jan proposed to reduced the number of Ministries and civil servants.
This was my 4th MOF Budget Consultative Council meeting. I attended the meeting with PEDA Vice-President Lee Lick Sai. There were so much to digest over the 4 hours meeting but the council meeting was fruitful and productive. Although various details are kept discreet on this blog but I felt responsible to blog on the Council's meeting as I believe many Malaysian are not aware of the lengthy process before a budget is tabled to Parliament.
