Najib Abdul Razak was the keynote speaker at the 2nd Penang International Business and Investment Summit (Pibis) this morning, where some portions of his speech were political and directed at the Chinese community.
Najib extolled his administration between 2009 and 2018 which, in contrast, saw a booming economy and bullish stock market.
Foreign investments and GDP growth, said Najib, were the highest in the region at the time.
"Basically, the people and the Chinese community then had ample opportunities and ample freedom to make money.
"The government never stopped anyone or any community from making money," said Najib.
He claimed many Chinese told him they blame the Harapan government for the bearish stock market and slowing economy.
