This is so bad, so very bad in many levels. I don’t understand why Malaysians can accept this. Why Malaysians are “over patient” with such blatantly wrong thing to do ? Have Malaysians simply lost their marbles ? 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
DNA has reliably learnt that Mahadhir (who will now need to get a twitter account) will be clocking in to work on Sept 1 as the next MDEC CEO. He better find an extra hour in the day as he will need to put in 25-hour days to revive MDEC's momentum and help it regain its oomph!
@yoshimushu69@DNewsAsia@raishussin@mymdec Apologies for the 2-months late reply but they are supposed to release their 2020 annual report and many are waiting for that ! @ChairmanMdec
