As Malaysia heads into GE15, economists have named potential candidates for the finance minister role. Dr Mazlan Ali supports Tengku Zafrul for his successful tenure in previous administrations, while Pakatan Harapan's (PH) contenders include Anwar Ibrahim and Rafizi Ramli. For Perikatan Nasional (PN), Wan Saiful is a strong choice, praised for his free-market advocacy. Experts emphasize the need for a finance minister with deep economic understanding to address Malaysia's structural issues, rather than just corporate finance expertise.
