As an ageing nation, Malaysia is becoming old before it becomes rich. How should we revamp the national retirement savings system to provide a better umbrella for old age? We discuss this as well as global investment trends with Dr. Joseph Cherian, Practice Professor of Finance with the Asia School of Business. He is also the author of a recently published compilation of essays, “Track to the Future: Investment, Finance and Lessons for the New Economy.”
