Vol. 39, Issue No. 44, 30 Oct, 2004

How Not to Model for Manpower Planning

Vol. 19, Issue No. 29, 21 Jul, 1984

this investment has unfortunately not reshaped the trinity of development in Malaysia or elsewhere. Judged by the reduction of poverty, inequality and unemployment, Malaysia's economic policies have come to a sorry pass.
