KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Former finance minister Tun Dr Daim Zainuddin has proven that age is not a barrier to accomplishing one’s goals when he received his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Arts and Social Sciences. The 81-year-old said he started pursuing his PhD in 2008 but had to take a five-year break due to health issues. Despite his hectic schedule, Daim managed to complete his thesis entitled "The Implementation of the New Economic Policy: Success and Failures”. Daim added that Malaysia is one of the countries that produced high numbers of university graduates, but today there were many still unemployed. Because education is one thing but the right education for our people to logically solve problems should also be considered," he said.
