FOREWORD
The Perdana Fellows Alumni Association (PFAA) has been seeking to promote the communication of economic knowledge
and insights from experts in their respective fields not just among one another, but also most importantly with the young
people of Malaysia.
Hence, the theme of the inaugural Youth Economic Forum (YEF), held at the Securities Commission at Bukit Kiara on 12
November 2016 was “Malaysia” with the tagline “Davos for Young Malaysians”, under which banner the discussion centred on
national economic governance, besides several regional and global economic affairs, with none other than the youth of
Malaysia.
The Forum was structured around seven (7) main sessions after rounds of adjustments. To this distinguished series of
sessions, the PFAA, made up of young Malaysians, has added a new platform, namely, our own national gathering of various
stakeholders of the economy to discuss not just the country’s but also regional and global affairs based on policy-relevant core
questions with cutting edge economic theory and themes relevant to public policymaking.

YEF 2016 IN REVIEW: EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
i) OPENING ADDRESS
Topic: “MALAYSIA ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION”
Speaker: Dato’ Sri Idris Jala
The Forum started off with an Opening Address by Dato’ Sri Idris Jala who managed to capture the audience’s attention
through his engaging presentation and speech. Dato’ Sri Idris Jala initially outlined how Malaysia has seen a dramatic
turnaround since the post-independence era. A set of specific factors have driven this phenomenon. They ranged from shared
socio-economic interests in a multicultural and multiracial Malaysia, Malaysia’s holistic economic transformation programmes
to alleviate extreme rural and urban poverty, and equitable economic growth models across all sectors of the economy and
not particularly dependent on a single sector.
By staying clear of economic or technical terminology, Dato’ Sri Idris Jala addressed many commonly held stereotypes about
the Malaysian economy and governance. In regards to readily accessible government policies online, he said, “You have no
excuse not to know what we’re planning to do with this country.” His messages were relevant and in fact, necessary for the
Malaysian youth of today to hear.

ii) PANEL SESSION 1
Topic: “GROWING MALAYSIA’S ECONOMY: HOW?”
Speakers: Dato’ Sri Idris Jala, Ms. Tricia Yeoh, Mr. Johan Mahmood Merican, Ms. Khor Yu Leng (second left to right)
Moderator: Mr. Nicholas Khaw Hock-Lu (most left)
The discussion in Panel Session 1 was very intense and forward-looking. Several key issues concerning the Malaysian
economy were identified at the session. The various strands of opinion expressed by the panellists and moderator are as
follows:
(1) Economic policies are transformative when they have accounted for higher youth employment and higher innovative
productivity from the younger workforce.
(2) Inclusive economic policy should not be biased against foreign labour participation.
(3) Interventionist government through state-led infrastructure projects could trigger policy paralysis in times of governance
issues when various stakeholders are not prepared and mobilised towards a free-market and liberalised economy.
(4) Restructuring the commodities industry, such as oil & gas and palm oil through investment enabling policies should
surround economic, social and environmental sustainability, not rampant subsidies and debt-fuelled financing.
The topics discussed were carefully selected to reflect the concerns of Malaysian youth whereas the invited panellists
provided a balanced and unbiased perspective on the issues raised. Although well versed with economic theory and global
trends, most of the panellists remained pragmatic. For instance, in response to a controversial question raised by an audience
member, Mr. Johan Mahmood Merican calmly replied, “It is very fashionable to talk about merit, but there remains a strong
case for affirmative action.” He drove his point by quoting statistics of education levels among the Indian community and
percentages of women holding top management positions, among others.

iii) SPECIAL PRESENTATION
Topic: “CAPITALISING ENTREPRENEURSHIP”
Speaker: Mr. Chin Wei Min
Introducer: Mr. Zaim Mohzani
This was a mind-opening presentation on the measures taken by regulatory bodies in Malaysia to enhance liquidity and
efficiency in the capital market. Mr. Chin Wei Min is leading the Securities Commission’s Innovation and Digital Strategy Team,
which plays a pivotal role in transforming the capital market of Malaysia by leveraging on technology to innovate and regulate
alternative platforms for raising capital fund through the peer-to-peer (P2P) financing and equity crowdfunding (ECF)
platforms. Both the P2P and ECF platforms highly promote a more inclusive economy by widening the avenues for small
businesses and entrepreneurs, especially among young working professionals to gain greater access to capital.
In the Q&A session, there was an interesting discussion on how the P2P and ECF platforms could instill more entrepreneurial
spirit among young Malaysians when majority of them have a fear of starting their own businesses, of which Mr. Chin clarified
by addressing that the regulatory framework is not exhaustive only to providing funds for start-ups but also capacity-building
for new business owners to scale and innovate.

iv) PANEL SESSION 2
Topic: “MALAYSIA’S COMPETITIVENESS IN THE WORLD: ERODING OR STRENGTHENING?”
Speakers: Dato’ Charon Wardini Mokhani, Dr. Kenneth R. Simler, Dato’ Abdul Latif Hj Abu Seman, Datuk J. Jayasiri
(second left to right)
Moderator: Mdm. Jasmine Begum (most left)
There are many approaches to evaluate a nation’s competitiveness. Dato’ Abdul Latif Hj Abu Seman, the Deputy Director
General of Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) and Datuk J. Jayasiri, the Secretary General of the Ministry of
International Trade and Industry laid out simple roadmaps to define the meaning of Malaysia’s competitiveness and spelt out
steps by government agencies to promote “the ease of doing business” in the country that sought to catalyse infrastructure
investments. These views were echoed and variously amplified by the panellists.
While questioning some of the shortcomings of current economic barometers, the panellists were also reflective of Malaysia’s
policy environment. Malaysia has become more selective on attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), targeting those with
high multiplier effects and high-valued job creations in particular. In consequence, economic competitiveness seems to erode
as policymakers reevaluate the (un)sustainablity of low cost industries powered by cheap labour. In hindsight, international
trade has been performing well and Malaysia is one of the Top 25 trading nations in WTO.
The panellists adhered to the diverse society in Malaysia as a strong competitive advantage of an evolving labour market
towards technological readiness. It is, thus, essential for a competitive economy to create sufficient jobs and recognise the
importance of developing a matured digital economy to train for productive manpower through educational reform, which
would prepare the future generation for jobs that may only exist in 10 years from now.

v) KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Topic: “THE PROSPECTS FOR THE MALAYSIAN ECONOMY: BUDGET 2017 & BEYOND”
Speaker: Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani
Introducer: Ms. Ng Yeen Seen
Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani delivered a warm and interactive keynote address. He spoke about how the Millennials are often
misunderstood as being the troublemakers of the society when in actual they are the most educated generation in the
country’s history.
Datuk Johari was very involved in the Q&A session and identified the need to develop well-rounded talents, particularly among
the youths as pillar of strength to successful economic development in Malaysia. He had given a macro-context to how Budget
2017 has drawn attention to developments in various sectors of the Malaysian economy including the financial and social
sectors that will not be complacent in just providing financial and social safety nets to the young generation, but also a
competitive learning environment for young entrepreneurs to be at the forefront of the “internet economy”.
There was a substantial discussion on how the changing economic and political landscapes both globally and domestically
may cause great disruption to a functioning and stable society, in ways we are only beginning to understand. Nonetheless, the
future is full of unknowns and while there are no textbook answers to tough policy questions, true governance is found through
partnership, which includes the youth of the nation.

vi) PANEL SESSION 3
Topic: “MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIES: MACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENT”
Speakers: Dr. Sukhdave Singh, Dr. Roman J. Zytek, Mr. Nurhisham Hussein, Prof. Dr. Yeah Kim Leng (second left to
right)
Moderator: Dato’ Megat Iskandar Shah (most left)
The session was one of the most anticipated sessions of the Youth Economic Forum, which explained how the Forum has
managed to retain a good crowd towards the end of the day. The panellists and moderator held a systematic and serious
discussion on the state of Malaysia’s monetary and fiscal policies, with regards to their impacts on the economy.
It went into details about ways to understand the downward pressure on our currency, Ringgit, and anticipate the near-term
direction of rational market actors. Race to the bottom of cutting interest rates or anticipated rate hikes by central banks are
regarded as temporary measures; a salient economy should always reflect the fundamentals of the Malaysian economy, for
instance, governance of inflation control and optimal domestic spending. The panellists then moved on to discuss the
inflationary expectations in the Malaysian economy and took up the fiscal situation for careful deliberation, including the
possibility to avert another financial crisis.
During the Q&A session, comparative policies and analyses were also made between the emerging markets, like Malaysia till
date, and the developed market such as the United States to explore how markets tend to be at different levels that influence
investment flows and how these flows ought to be measured to develop the right balance of monetary and fiscal policies. A
turnaround of an economy is not an overnight task but decades of management of macro-prudential policy measures.

vii) CLOSING REMARKS
Speakers: Mr. Ian Yee, Mr. Shahrizan Syawal Mohd Adam Das, Mr. Wong Wai Ken, Mr. Zaim Mohzani (left to right)
Due to the difficulty in securing a ministerial speaker to deliver the Closing Address, the Youth Economic Forum Organising
Committee decided to add the voices of youth to the forum, represented by the leaders of PFAA, YCM, NBS and R.AGE to
summarise their takes on organising and attending the Forum. Their takeaway was collective and simple – the country’s future
needed to be examined at a non-exclusive platform accessible to the young people of Malaysia. YEF has become the WEF of
Malaysia, charting for the beginning of intensive conversations among young Malaysians.
The panellists also indicated that the YEF, in recognition of the vital role young people play in building Malaysia, continues to
talk about the processes and opportunities that allow young people to develop and realise their potential in the Malaysian
economy.
The economic point of views of policies in Malaysia are often not communicated enough in our home country as opposed to
the political views; hence we will need to open opportunities for the youth to participate in and take advantage of what
Malaysia has to offer.
