Former Prime Minister and Bersatu President, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, questions the government’s handling of the Economic Ministry portfolio.
He criticizes the decision to "burden" Finance Minister II with the additional role of Economic Minister, after Rafizi Ramli’s resignation.
He stresses that the Economy is one of the most important ministries, and without a dedicated minister, accountability and effective management suffer.

00:00Tak adakah orang dalam parti dia, ahli parlimen dia yang dia boleh bagi kerja, buat kerja itu?
00:06How do you feel about the government right now doesn't have an economic minister?
00:10I don't think it's good to assign another minister to execute a function which is quite critical.
00:20Then you burden on the percent.
00:23Menteri Keuangan 2 is also Menteri Economy.
00:27Two portfolio which is heavy.
00:28Menteri Keuangan 2 because there's already Menteri Keuangan 1, Prime Minister, who travel all over the world, maybe less focus on his job as well.
00:38So he is burdening on the Menteri Keuangan 2 to do the job.
00:42And then he assigned this Menteri Keuangan 2, Brother Amir, to also perform duty of Menteri Economy with Rafi Zee had left or resigned.
00:52You can easily assess, is it going to be easier for him or not easier for him?
00:57Or it indicates that the government or the Prime Minister lack understanding of economy to burden a person like this minister, who is not an economic minister, to perform his duty.
01:09So I sure believe it will be too loaded for him to do so.
01:15But the question again is,
01:16Why are you laughing?
01:25I don't know.
01:26It's kind of a joke.
01:27Doesn't it sound like a joke?
01:28It sounds like a joke, isn't it?
01:30No, no.
01:31It's a joke.
01:32It's not.
01:32Unfortunately, it's a real problem, right?
01:34It is a real problem.
01:35Because the economic ministry is among the most important ministers.
01:39Exactly.
01:40I'm not saying that Rafi Zee did well before, but at least there is a minister in charge.
01:44So if people want to gasak him, he just gasak him, not performing his duty, whatever.
01:47But at least somebody is answerable.
01:50Yes.
01:50But you assign Amir, I know him quite well, to say, you do this job well.
01:55Why?
01:55So I mean, it is already a big problem.
02:00The economy is not being managing well.
02:04So to assign a person like that to do job, one indicated that within the present government,
02:11there's not enough people who are qualified to do the job.
