KUALA LUMPUR: The Covid-19 pandemic is a unique, global and universally recognised single crisis that presented opportunities that need to be seized immediately, said Khazanah Nasional Bhd managing director (MD) Datuk Amirul Feisal Wan Zahir. He said the pandemic highlighted existential fragilities in Malaysia’s collective global socioeconomic community. "Inequality, imbalance, economic injustice, environmental abuse - these have never been more universally apparent, and so is the critical need to address them in a globally coherent and unified fashion. "To put it bluntly, the pandemic has unmasked the lies we have clung to for so long to provide flimsy comfort and security,” he said in his welcome remarks at the virtual Khazanah Megatrends Forum 2021 (KMF 2021) today. According to Amirul Feisal, to avert disaster, there is a need to create new narratives which would fundamentally change values and behaviours to shape the world that we would like our children to inherit.
