Malaysia's Exports Grew 20.6% In April, Another Double-Digit Growth.


April external trade figures were just released today. Malaysia's exports grew 20.6% in April, another double-digit growth. So, I am updating this post.

Still waiting for Tony Pua to comment after his silence over 6 months already.

*Apa komen Tony Pua sekarang tentang ekspot negara?*

Back in Oct 2016, DAP's Tony Pua said that Malaysia is "No more an export powerhouse" and our growth in exports was not good despite a weaker currency.

"The anticipated explosive growth in exports and manufacturing activity as a result of persistent depreciation of the ringgit never materialised.

Either no one wants to buy more Malaysian products, even though they are significantly cheaper, or more plausibly, businesses and investors are not investing in additional production capacity in Malaysia because they had lost confidence in the country." said Tony.

Well, ever since Tony said that, our exports jumped 7.8% in November, 10.7% in December and expectations that it will accelerate even further at a forecast growth of 13.6% in January.

In February 2017, our exports jumped a staggering 26.5% with the highest ever trade recorded for Malaysia.

March 2017 exports growth was reported at 24.1% and breaching the RM80 billion mark in receipts for the first time in history.

Today, it was announced that April 2017 exports grew 20.6%.

So Tony, what is your comment now?

Or you are going to keep quiet and not take responsibility for your statement just 7 months ago?

LSS.
