  • The RM7 billion stimulus package announced by Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak yesterday might not be an adequate measure to help the country weather the on-going financial storm in the global economy.

    Economist Lim Teck Ghee, who is director of think-tank Centre for Policy Initiatives told Malaysiakini today that the package was "insufficient and badly targeted" as it may not reach those who need help most.
