Timeframe to Catch Up
If Malaysia grows at 5-6% GDP per year, it would take 20-30 years to close the gap.
If Malaysia accelerates reforms and attracts massive foreign investments, it could reduce this to 15-20 years.

Future Generations Will Bear the Burden
If Malaysia continues to stretch its finances by participating in large-scale international projects, the younger generation will inherit a nation with fewer economic buffers and an increased obligation to manage debt repayments. Unlike high-income nations with stronger fiscal capabilities, Malaysia cannot afford to spend freely on overseas projects without repercussions on its long-term economic health.

Even if the government does not directly allocate taxpayer money, GLCs—often backed by public funds—are expected to contribute. These companies have obligations to their shareholders and the national economy. If they divert funds or expertise toward overseas humanitarian efforts, they may reduce investments in domestic industries, slowing Malaysia’s economic progress and worsening its financial sustainability.

Malaysia's Debt Problem Is Already Critical

With national debt already exceeding RM1.5 trillion (as of recent estimates), Malaysia cannot afford unnecessary financial commitments that do not serve its domestic economic interests. Servicing this debt consumes a significant portion of annual budgets, limiting spending on essential sectors like healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Any additional financial strain, even under the guise of humanitarian aid, pushes Malaysia further from resolving its debt crisis.

Apart from abbim got to pocket a portion of the fund, no Direct Economic Returns for Malaysia

While humanitarian efforts are commendable, the reconstruction of Gaza does not directly translate into financial or economic benefits for Malaysia. Unlike investments in infrastructure, technology, or industry within Malaysia, rebuilding another nation provides no clear return on investment. This contrasts with countries like China, which strategically fund international projects that later yield economic benefits through trade, influence, or access to resources.
