'Highest surplus means weak domestic economy' - Kian Ming to Azmin

Former deputy minister for international trade and industry Ong Kian Ming has dismissed current minister Azmin Ali's celebration of the “highest ever” trade surplus in the nation's history in 2020, saying it happened due to weak domestic demand.

"This was one of the highlights of the media statement by International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali on Jan 30 but in reality, this 'achievement' is nothing to be proud of".
