“It’s lighter than my fishing bag so it makes everything easier. I bought a smaller bag and that holds two medium tackle boxes, so I have lures and stuff to go after almost any fish.”

Focusing on high income as a policy target is misleading Letter to the Editor
From Paolo Casadio and Geoffrey Williams
The problem of the so-called “middle-income trap”, which has kept Malaysia among the upper-middle-income countries for many years despite growing faster than most of the high-income counterparts, has been debated for a long time.
The good news is that both the World Bank and the government have recently projected that Malaysia is finally “very likely” to achieve high-income status between 2024 and 2028.
This is celebrated as a huge achievement, just as it was in the 10th Malaysia Plan in 2010 when the government first aimed to hit this threshold by 2020. In 2015, then minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of economic planning, Abdul Wahid Omar, said they were on target to surpass the threshold by 2020.
