• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: A nation that does not draw lessons from experience is a nation that does not improve its work. Though I was pleased that the Minister for Finance rolled over the Economic Stimulus Programmes (ESPs) that were started last year to stimulate our economy, I was disappointed that the Ministry of Finance did not share with the House view
