June 16, 2015 , by admin2
DAVOS (Switzerland), Jan 21 (Bernama) — The opposition claim that the Malaysian economy is in crisis is absurd and irresponsible, says International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

June 16, 2015 , by admin2
After years of planning and negotiations on trade in goods and services among the 10 member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) may finally emerge by the end of this year.
