KUALA LUMPUR: Cash is no longer king – data is – in today’s technology-driven world. According to Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, it is important for Malaysia to leverage on new technologies in this era of digital economy to advance further economically and socially. “When you talk about the digital economy, it is all about data… the previous government probably got it wrong when it said ‘Cash is king’,” Lim said.
