SHAH ALAM: Malaysia needs to brace for economic uncertainties and tougher times ahead, in light of the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.

Former finance minister Tun Dr Daim Zainuddin said while the country’s economy is currently stable, the people must be prepared for any eventuality.

“There are problems all over the world, the Middle East, Hong Kong, North Korea, the South China Sea. Hopefully it doesn’t affect us. But of course, anything that happens in the world will affect us.
