Tan Sri Dr. Munir Majid Chairman, CIMB ASEAN Research Institute President Repoter Daniel

CARI chairman Tan Sri Munir Majid noted such points to be particularly pertinent as countries struggle to return to pre-Covid-19 growth numbers while having to respond to increasing public scepticism over the benefits of globalisation.
