KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 (Bernama) – Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), being the nation’s trade promotion agency, should employ more big data to help local entrepreneurs produce the right kind of goods and services needed by the world.
“Information is what drives the economy. You have more information, the better you are because data is what contributes towards decision-making,” he said in a recent interview with BERNAMA in Kota Kinabalu in conjunction with the impending publication of a commemorative book celebrating MATRADE’s 25th anniversary.
