Which country is immune to unwinding of QE3 in US? Have we forgotten 1997/1998 Asian crisis? Whether is BN or PH, we are affected. The fact is KLSE prior to GE14 was overvalued.

Agreed on this. As FM, your duty should be solved the issues rather than telling the whole world you are in trouble. Your day-to-day job are to manage the finance matters. U can get involved but not the main task. No leader in the world will keep telling that you are having trouble. As FM (similiar to the CFO of listed companies), you should settled rather than creating more issues and telling the whole world. Need a balance on this

I support whistle-blowing and transparency. But there are always much better way to handle this situation. Many countries also have their own issues some far bigger than Malaysia. But the question, do they have to tell the whole world that "we are in deep shit" and till now we haven't had any solutions to solve? In fact as a FM, we should picture a more positive views and that we can solved the issues. Main important, to balance the transparency and economic competitiveness. Mentality need to be changed. PH no longer an opposition, they are the government. How to restore confidence from Rakyat and the World should be the main priority.

No good Education Minister so far. The past few Edu Ministers just tried to make students memorise things earlier than they should and claim all the credits after. No learning process and just pump unnecessary info into the brain and then exam, that's it. Kids don't understand "why", they just "memorise". The former is learning and the latter is suffering.

It is important to publish as Harapan has to show how bad BN was. If not, similar case will resurface in the future as Rakyat will not pay attention to corruption in the coming election.

Aaahhh. I see. So, looks like you are NOT able to gv us any examples.

And what high debt are you talking about? So many countries hv debt, and Malaysia is not alone. Many of them much higher debt than Malaysia. Did you buy your car & your house with cash? without only loan from the bank?

Here you are. Start learning something. Instead of simply parroting what you hear every day from your favourite Pakatan Harabull mouthpiece.

I think correct question one should ask is the category of debt - good debt & bad debt?

good debt - you are able to serve & at the same time leverage on the borrowing

bad debt - kena tiu tiap tiap hari sama along to pay loan interest, unable to serve principal

so the question now, is our country debts a good debts or bad debts ?

Does Malaysia have external assests like UK or plenty of reserves like Singapore or RM is use as international currency like US? Yes Malaysia has lots of internal assests like land. Are you prepared to sell your precious Petronas or land? Is it sustainable.
I agree with kUlar.

Yes you can have high debt if you have resources to generate the income to pay up the interest or reduce the debt. The problem is the government does not have the means to pay the debt That's why GST is implemented in the first place to generate income to pay the debt.

I agreed having debt (not too high) is good to generate cash flow and the money can be utilised for development.

I remember years ago I invested in Megan with low PE but high debts. I lost money in that counter. From that moment, I always look at the debt/equity level before I invest.
