KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia remains determined to become a developed country by 2030 and believes the goal is reachable despite COVID-19's dire economic impact, a federal minister said in an interview.
Redzuan Yusof, a minister in the Prime Minister's Department, told Nikkei Asia that the government is committed to attaining high-income status in the next nine years. This is a target Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin inherited from the man he elbowed out of power last year, Mahathir Mohamad.
