Eh, Rafizi was economy minister, wasnβt he? For a moment, I thought he had spent those years outside the gate, sending in brilliant suggestions that nobody bothered to read.
These days, he has such a quick answer for everything. Drop BN. Remove the ministers. Reshuffle. He makes it sound like PMX is arranging seats at a wedding dinner. Move this uncle away from that uncle, put somebody in between, and everyone can enjoy the food.
But since weβre talking about getting things done, what happened to IPRβs target of 100,000 participants in 2023? By August 2026, the ministry reported 6,781 participating households. Fair enough, participants and households are different measures, and some families benefited. Still, that is quite a gap. Surely the man who announced the target can explain what happened.
Thatβs what I find funny about all this advice. He had his turn at the wheel. He knows the steering can shake, the engine can overheat and the passengers can quarrel. But now that PMX is driving, suddenly everything sounds so easy.
Criticise PMX, of course. Nobody gets a free pass. But before recording the next episode on how to fix the entire government, perhaps spend one episode explaining your own results. Cannot always be the examiner, Rafizi. You also handed in a paper.

On Malaysiaβs 69th Merdeka (Independence) Day, Iβd like to highlight some quieter progress this tumultuous year.
1. Malaysiaβs poorest state, Sabah, removed all 10,825 households from its hardcore poverty list
[βhardcore povertyβ is when a household doesnβt even earn enough money to meet basic daily calorie & nutritional needs]
2. Malaysia ranked #1 globally for Muslim-friendly & Islamic tourism, eking out Turkiye, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, UAE & others.
And last year, Malaysia ranked #1 globally in the open data inventory (from #67 / 193 just three years back)
3. Rules governing Malaysiaβs national trust fund (KWAN that saves natural resource wealth for future generations) were updated, and now limit future withdrawals only to education, health, and climate adaptation.
For sure, many challenges remain but today is a good day to appreciate some of this quieter progress.
Selamat Hari Merdeka kepada semua rakyat Malaysia! π²πΎ

DRIVING REGIONAL AND SECTORAL PRODUCTIVITY FOR MALAYSIA'S SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
At the 7th Asia KLEMS Conference & Launch of the Productivity Report 2026, the Deputy Minister of MITI, YB Tuan @simtzetzin emphasized the importance of place-based upgrading and building local capabilities across all states in Malaysia.
In conjunction with the launch of the Productivity Report 2026, key insights and data will directly inform the Malaysia Productivity Framework and Action Plan 2026β2035, aligned with the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030).
This strategic push is further bolstered by Malaysia's strong economic momentum, with GDP growth strengthening to 6.0% in Q2 2026 (up from 5.4% in Q1 2026).
Together with MPC, let's continue to drive productivity and enhance national competitiveness!

This is a true story.
In January 2026, I received a call from InvestPenang CEO DS Loo Lee Lian.
βCan you come to Penang to meet an investor? An investor is considering other country and I want you to help do the last pitch β
At the time, I was just barely a month into my new job as Deputy Minister of @MITIMalaysia . Without further delay, I bought a ticket fly back to Penang, met them for 2 hours then fly back to KL. See photo.
Intuitive Surgical is the world most advanced Medical Robotics company. InvestPenang has been working to attract this investment for 8 years. Therefore, I have to do all my best to save this project.
The next day, I arranged a high level meeting between IS and MITI senior officers to fix some miscommunications.
After 7 months of consideration, Intuitive Surgical finally decided to choose Malaysia as their main manufacturing facility outside US and China. They will invest RM2 billion to build state of the art facility (progressively in 5 years). Yesterday they signed S&P to buy 40 acres land in Batu Kawan Industrial Park.
Many might not know, Malaysia is currently the worldβs Top 5 Medical Devices Manufacturing Hub in the world together with US, China, Ireland and Costa Rica.
Malaysia exports RM37 billion medical devices and equipments annually.
The Intuitive Surgical investment to Penang will boost our high end medical equipment manufacturing.
Looking back, it was a close last effort and I am so proud it has paid off.
Thanks to former MITI TKSU Datuk Bahria, MIDA, InvestPenang and all who worked to make it a success.
It is definitely one of my very first success stories as Deputy Minister of MITI.

Dulu kita memperjuangkan kebebasan mahasiswa di bawah AUKU. Hari ini, perjuangan itu membuahkan hasil. Pemansuhan AUKU bukan sekadar perubahan undang-undang, tetapi lambang bahawa Reformasi terus bergerak untuk memberi lebih ruang kepada suara, pemikiran dan kebebasan anak muda.
