Malaysia should stop all high rise building projects.stop all unnecessary waste money projects. Stop all China project.Choose Ministers by their qualifications.Example, Finance minister must and should have finance background and other post as well based on the actual qualifications.
1) i wud mention that the amount of foreign currency debt as % of total debt is much lower than many other countries (tho increase in USD interest rate and weakening MYR is causing some stress), 2) the govt 'wastes' a lot of money with blanket subsidies which end up being enjoyed by the rich (eg, the bmw owners get more benefit on cheap petrol (USD0.43/l!!) than those who take the bus or ride small cars), 3) leakages through corruption is still rampant and 4) the current coalition govt is much weaker than previous to proceed full steam ahead with necessary reforms in many areas
Theres no such thing as leakage mate... once money being created (printing) once it get into a bank as deposit, regardless of what it had been used for, criminal, curruption, legal business owner, or you makan at mamak.. it will stay in circulation almost forever, promotes economic growth.. once its newly printed government debt get into a private bank as deposits the bank will use the money to give loan like your for your car, your credit card and your business.. even say a criminal, or curropt official dint put it in a bank, he/she will eventually use the money to buy groceries in a supermarket (it will become revenue for the supermarket) for example, it will eventually made it into a bank.. and the cycle continues.. it is called Circular Flow of Income in Four Factor economy..

Theory and Practice. Malaysia's National debts was the money making machine for previous government politicians and debts which was a credit to their personal off-shore accounts
❤❤You are perfectly correct. Malaysia's debt is 97.5% denominated in Ringgit and only a tiny 2.5% in foreign currencies. And since Malaysia is the only entity that can legally print (creating money out of thin air) the Ringgit, there is no problem. If you owe money which you can create out of thin air, what's the problem? But this must be done surreptitiously otherwise foreign countries will devalue the ringgit. That's why 'E'CON'omy is 'E'ssentially a CON game and really good economists like those in the USA are ethical people who use the tools of the conmen for the good of the people.😂😂

Anwar and majority of malaysian have conservative view when it comes to debt. Although I agreed with the narrator that spending is more important than debt amount. Goverment should reduce the subsidies, implement GST and abolish pension, which has more serious repercussion.
First of all is not to be so generous to donate to other country when our own debt is so high. We are already in serious trouble already while our PM is so generous to donate as though we are debt free. Our debt if I am not mistaken is around US 1.8 trillion.
@@danielyee9159 If I'm not mistaken the debt is around 1.5 trillion ringgit, not USD as most of the debts come from domestic sources. Msia dont have high exposure to foreign debt, which is good. I don't mind the debt if the government can manage it wisely. Even Singapore debt is more than 100% of its GDP. But at least they funnel the money strategically, I mean... we all can see their achievements now.
the PM should appoint a finance minister to replace himself. Malaysia need a full time 24/7 finance minister to sort out its economic issues. Plus, it doesn't look good for the PM to be the finance minister at the same time - judging from Malaysia's previous experience with Najib Razak.

As long as Malaysia's debt is not burdened under high interest rates like Ah Long's, there is still hope. And no point comparing to a Kia Su neighbour down under. Just take care of own domestic challenges & move forward.
1MDB bonds' 5 to 6% coupon rate on the back of Malaysian Bond ranking BBB Versus Singapore Bond ranking AAA enjoys lowest coupon rate/ interest rate. We can't afford to borrow again(expensive).
Not a debt crisis. They can afford to pay it with their many asset companies that are worth hundreds of billions, just like Singapore which has a far higher debt of 1.7 trillion US Dollars.
I highly support Sabah and Serawak to gain its independence from Malaysia in order to avoid this huge debt problem 💪💪💪💪💪 Sabah and Serawak need to be independence, Sabah and Serawak need to be Independence 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
To curtail debts crisis, the country needs to elevate Ringgit Value When import become cheaper, and inflation will be less burdened. Also, will reduce interest rate from foreign debts. Boost FDI to the country
You don't understand the problem then. In a high-interest rate environment, the only way to prevent your currency from losing value, is to raise your own interest rates. Malaysian households and companies cannot afford an interest rate hike.
Malaysia should focus on a combination of paying down it's debt by passing new sources of revenue or strictly enforcing tax collection while attracting foreign investments without choking the economy. Modern monetary theory is flawed since it has long been known that central banks around the world are mostly privately owned, they are not government owned with the best example being the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. Every unit of currency printed carries interest with it. It's not simply printing a piece of paper. You only need to look at what happened at Weimar in Germany when they printed their way out of debt with disastrous consequences for their people's purchasing power. Also, one shouldn't forget the exchange of the ringgit against all other currencies of countries it trades with.
61% of GDP isnt that bad, albeit it's higher than Indonesia (39%) and Vietnam (32%) BUT Malaysia have enough resources to make it right. Problem is, during the campaign Anwar made the debt look like it was out of proportion hence why hes facing the burden to lower it down (good luck considering the global trade situation).
A debt is a debt, foreign or not. It’s a cultural problem consequential on perennial budget deficits. High debt is a drag on the economy and hence the wellbeing of the people.

@@zarith87 Malaysia cuts subsidies for rich class to reduce country's debt When asked by council members whether they would impose additional excise duties on the people to deal with the increase in state debt in a hearing session at the Dewan Rakyat Building which was attended online in Kuala Lumpur, Tuesday, Anwar answered that he would reduce subsidies for the rich, as was done for electricity subsidies. As I explained to the Council in the last session, even though there was a previous government decision to increase electricity tariffs, the government has now canceled that proposal and it is still only imposed on the T20 group (income of more than RM10,970 or around Rp. 38.26 million per month), multinational companies and other large companies except companies involved in food safety Reductions in other subsidies for the rich are also being implemented with the same emphasis, for example diesel subsidies which in 2022 will reach 20 billion ringgit (around Rp. 69.76 trillion), but in the study of the Chair of the State Audit, half of that volume has been sold through oil stations, he said. In terms of economic growth, considering that domestic and foreign investors are starting to come in, Anwar believes that the settlement of state debt will increase without burdening the people. A number of steps were taken, including improving governance, because billions of ringgit in lost spending occurred due to poor management and leaks so that the debt became greater than the country's economic growth, he said.
@@zarith87 Malaysia's Suffering: Ringgit & Exports Collapse, Debts Mount The weakening of the Malaysian ringgit currency against the United States (US) dollar amidst unstable global conditions has had an impact on many things, from increasingly expensive imports to ballooning foreign debt. This issue received great attention from former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad with a solution to peg the exchange rate. Reporting from Refinitiv, the ringgit has weakened against the US dollar by 5.03% year to date/ytd. Meanwhile, the ringgit's weakest point was at MYR4.79/US$ on October 23 2023 and was recorded to have weakened 8.14% ytd. The collapse of the ringgit cannot be separated from the strength of the US dollar index (DXY), high world oil prices and the weakening of the Chinese economy. The depreciation of the ringgit is getting worse due to strong US economic growth with still solid employment data as well as the US central bank (The Fed) being quite hawkish some time ago and deciding to hold its benchmark interest rate at a high position for a long time to fight inflation. For your information, a cheaper currency means higher import costs. On the other hand, regional exporters are finding it difficult to take advantage of this downturn, as uncertainty remains in large markets, especially China. For your information, the ringgit has been hit by Malaysia's greater exposure to the Chinese economy, which is experiencing disappointing growth. For more than 13 years, China has been Malaysia's largest trading partner. Bilateral trade between the two countries set a record of US$ 203.6 billion in 2022 or around Rp. 3,162.9 trillion (US$ 1=Rp. 15,535), an increase compared to 2021 which was recorded at US$ 176.8 billion. Furthermore, weak commodity prices such as palm oil and natural gas, which account for the majority of Malaysia's exports, are also another negative factor. For the record, Malaysia's exports to China for the September period were recorded to have fallen 17.3% to MYR16.6 billion or around IDR 55 trillion (1MYR= IDR 3,350). Meanwhile, Malaysia's imports from China for the September period also contracted 9% at MYR21.7 billion. In other words, Malaysia's trade balance with China for the September period experienced a deficit of MYR5.1 billion. Malaysia's annual export contraction touched its lowest point, namely a correction of 18.6% in August 2023. Meanwhile in the September period, Malaysian exports were corrected 13.7% (year on year/yoy) to MYR124.5 billion, missing market estimates which predicted a correction 16.5% and compared with an upwardly revised 18.7% contraction in the previous month. This marks an export contraction for the seventh consecutive month, along with a decline in sales in all sectors, namely; mining (-28%), especially LNG (-37.8%) and condensate & other petroleum (-26.8%) Meanwhile, Malaysian imports also fell 11.1% from the previous year to MYR99.95 billion in September 2023, missing market estimates of a 12.2% decline and slowing sharply from the 21.2% decline in the previous month. This marks a contraction for the seventh consecutive month, due to a decrease in purchases of semi-finished goods (-15.6%), which was caused by a decrease in purchases of food & beverages, processing, especially for industry (-59.2%) The weakening of Malaysia's exports and imports is also reflected in its trade balance which continues to narrow to MYR24.5 billion (Rp. 82.08 trillion) in September 2023 from MYR31.8 billion (Rp. 106.53 trillion) in the same month the previous year, but greater from a market estimate of MYR22.7 billion. Furthermore, in the first nine months of 2023, the country's trade surplus fell to MYR177.3 billion from MYR188 billion in the same period the previous year. The depreciation of the ringgit also had an impact on the 10 year tenor Malaysian Government Bonds. The highest yield on these bonds was recorded on October 23 2023 at 4.2% or the highest since the last year. High yields indicate that investors are selling the bonds they bought because yields have an inverse correlation with bond prices. The surge in bond yields is increasingly burdensome for the government considering that the higher the yield offered, the government has an obligation to pay quite high yields. The Malaysian Statistics Department released debt service charges borne by the Malaysian government which continued to increase for the first two quarters from 2018 to 2023. Not only that, domestic debt in the form of treasury bills also crept up for the first two quarters from 2018 to 2023. The increasing number of treasury bills will directly increase the portion of the Malaysian government's total domestic debt.
Malaysia has been experiencing high growth over the past few years. We expect growth to be stabilised and matured. Too much development without slowing down risks overheating the economy. Malaysia is too much developed in many areas not only in KL but the entire country. Mega projects like ECRL and Pan Borneo are still going ahead according to plan. I do wish Malaysia can take a pause for a while. It already has mega ports, mega airports, tallest buildings, mega malls etc...

If you stop these perks and so-called "rights" you will never make it as a PM.
Malaysia can NOT apply MMT because Malaysia RM is different from the USD. At this moment in time, the world need the USD for international trade, but not the RM. (For BRICS, that is another story.) If Malaysia keep on printing money regardless, then RM would become like toilet paper !!! That was what happen to Germany before the 2nd World War !!!
Whatever happened, Malaysia's debt to gdp ratio is still much better than Singapore. It's not too worrying but it still have to be carefull because the global economic conditions tend to be worse.

They are in malay studies bcos they kaput maths and have this notion that money grows on trees or Allah will rain it upon them.

Sorry for disagreeing with you, yeah Malaysia maybe didn't have very high GDP to debt ratio but we must not compared Malaysia to another big economy like Singapore/USA and many more, the country with big economy doesn't have problem with high debt because their economy is big while Malaysia isn't, so we must be careful with the debt. Further more other PM than Anwar Ibrahim is collecting debt the worst of them are Najib (50 % GDP to debt ratio before him) , and Muhyiddin. So if Anwar didn't care about the debt and so PM after him what will happen to Malaysia debt? 4-5 trillion isn't far away

Must deal with the corrupt seriously,foremost be very united with the Sabah n Sarawak, interdependency !,
first of all I really do not agree with the financial handouts of 100 to 200 ringgit to all the citizens. For me with such of billions of ringgit in allocations, it would be better to establish a manufacturing hub instead. First it can create jobs while let the employed citizens generate consumption instead. Giving handout I would not say it is bad but at least help those who is real needed people such as provide them with food coupons or even support them in basic needs during their hardship times while provide the jobs or necessary skill training to enable them to look for employment.
say whatever it is, humanity has always been over-estimating their ability in doing/handling things or matter, not until it goes out of hand. To me lesser debt is always best policy = lesser burden and more space to wriggle in urgent times (i.e COVID).
this vidoe is does not adress our debt issue ,it just repeats the same story about the MMT (with out clear explaination )- which has never been proven as a sucessful solution in any nation anywhere in the world .
There are 2 kinds of debt - good and bad. Singapore has a debt more than Malaysia at USD 550 billion but nobody bats an eyelid. The reason is Singapore sets its own currency rate while Malaysia sets it against a basket of currencies especially the USD. Also Malaysia has a foreign external reserve of about USD 110 billion (Singapore at USD 280 billion) enough for 9 months of imports and only 10~15% of Malaysia's debt is foreign debt which is very low. Malaysia is far away from a 'debt trap' nations like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Mozambique, South Africa, Algeria, etc. with all having huge foreign debts. During the 1997 Asian Economic crisis, then Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir thumbed his nose at the IMF and fixed the Malaysian Ringgit at RM3.80 to the dollar when it was swinging wildly up to RM4.60. Anwar should empower the Central Bank (BNM) to partly fix the exchange rate without the need to cough up huge USD reserves and allow a market free-rate. Meanwhile, as in any government, debt should be curtailed and Malaysia must do this in cutting salaries, emoluments and pensions which swallows a sizable chunk of the annual budget. The legacy of slanted 'bumiputra' (affirmative action policies favoring the Muslim Malays) where 96% of government servants are Malays must be stopped to save the nation !

problem is the debt is not productive. In 2021, Auditor General highlighted that half new debt is to pay off old debt.
1) i wud mention that the amount of foreign currency debt as % of total debt is much lower than many other countries (tho increase in USD interest rate and weakening MYR is causing some stress), 2) the govt 'wastes' a lot of money with blanket subsidies which end up being enjoyed by the rich (eg, the bmw owners get more benefit on cheap petrol (USD0.43/l!!) than those who take the bus or ride small cars), 3) leakages through corruption is still rampant and 4) the current coalition govt is much weaker than previous to proceed full steam ahead with necessary reforms in many areas

Theres no such thing as leakage mate... once money being created (printing) once it get into a bank as deposit, regardless of what it had been used for, criminal, curruption, legal business owner, or you makan at mamak.. it will stay in circulation almost forever, promotes economic growth.. once its newly printed government debt get into a private bank as deposits the bank will use the money to give loan like your for your car, your credit card and your business.. even say a criminal, or curropt official dint put it in a bank, he/she will eventually use the money to buy groceries in a supermarket (it will become revenue for the supermarket) for example, it will eventually made it into a bank.. and the cycle continues.. it is called Circular Flow of Income in Four Factor economy..

You don't understand the problem then. In a high-interest rate environment, the only way to prevent your currency from losing value, is to raise your own interest rates. Malaysian households and companies cannot afford an interest rate hike.
Malaysia should focus on a combination of paying down it's debt by passing new sources of revenue or strictly enforcing tax collection while attracting foreign investments without choking the economy. Modern monetary theory is flawed since it has long been known that central banks around the world are mostly privately owned, they are not government owned with the best example being the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. Every unit of currency printed carries interest with it. It's not simply printing a piece of paper. You only need to look at what happened at Weimar in Germany when they printed their way out of debt with disastrous consequences for their people's purchasing power. Also, one shouldn't forget the exchange of the ringgit against all other currencies of countries it trades with.
61% of GDP isnt that bad, albeit it's higher than Indonesia (39%) and Vietnam (32%) BUT Malaysia have enough resources to make it right. Problem is, during the campaign Anwar made the debt look like it was out of proportion hence why hes facing the burden to lower it down (good luck considering the global trade situation).

@@zarith87 Malaysia cuts subsidies for rich class to reduce country's debt
When asked by council members whether they would impose additional excise duties on the people to deal with the increase in state debt in a hearing session at the Dewan Rakyat Building which was attended online in Kuala Lumpur, Tuesday, Anwar answered that he would reduce subsidies for the rich, as was done for electricity subsidies.
As I explained to the Council in the last session, even though there was a previous government decision to increase electricity tariffs, the government has now canceled that proposal and it is still only imposed on the T20 group (income of more than RM10,970 or around Rp. 38.26 million per month), multinational companies and other large companies except companies involved in food safety
Reductions in other subsidies for the rich are also being implemented with the same emphasis, for example diesel subsidies which in 2022 will reach 20 billion ringgit (around Rp. 69.76 trillion), but in the study of the Chair of the State Audit, half of that volume has been sold through oil stations, he said.
In terms of economic growth, considering that domestic and foreign investors are starting to come in, Anwar believes that the settlement of state debt will increase without burdening the people.
A number of steps were taken, including improving governance, because billions of ringgit in lost spending occurred due to poor management and leaks so that the debt became greater than the country's economic growth, he said.
@@zarith87 Malaysia's Suffering: Ringgit & Exports Collapse, Debts Mount
The weakening of the Malaysian ringgit currency against the United States (US) dollar amidst unstable global conditions has had an impact on many things, from increasingly expensive imports to ballooning foreign debt. This issue received great attention from former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad with a solution to peg the exchange rate.
Reporting from Refinitiv, the ringgit has weakened against the US dollar by 5.03% year to date/ytd. Meanwhile, the ringgit's weakest point was at MYR4.79/US$ on October 23 2023 and was recorded to have weakened 8.14% ytd.
The collapse of the ringgit cannot be separated from the strength of the US dollar index (DXY), high world oil prices and the weakening of the Chinese economy. The depreciation of the ringgit is getting worse due to strong US economic growth with still solid employment data as well as the US central bank (The Fed) being quite hawkish some time ago and deciding to hold its benchmark interest rate at a high position for a long time to fight inflation.
For your information, a cheaper currency means higher import costs. On the other hand, regional exporters are finding it difficult to take advantage of this downturn, as uncertainty remains in large markets, especially China.
For your information, the ringgit has been hit by Malaysia's greater exposure to the Chinese economy, which is experiencing disappointing growth. For more than 13 years, China has been Malaysia's largest trading partner.
Bilateral trade between the two countries set a record of US$ 203.6 billion in 2022 or around Rp. 3,162.9 trillion (US$ 1=Rp. 15,535), an increase compared to 2021 which was recorded at US$ 176.8 billion.
Furthermore, weak commodity prices such as palm oil and natural gas, which account for the majority of Malaysia's exports, are also another negative factor.
For the record, Malaysia's exports to China for the September period were recorded to have fallen 17.3% to MYR16.6 billion or around IDR 55 trillion (1MYR= IDR 3,350).
Meanwhile, Malaysia's imports from China for the September period also contracted 9% at MYR21.7 billion. In other words, Malaysia's trade balance with China for the September period experienced a deficit of MYR5.1 billion.
Malaysia's annual export contraction touched its lowest point, namely a correction of 18.6% in August 2023. Meanwhile in the September period, Malaysian exports were corrected 13.7% (year on year/yoy) to MYR124.5 billion, missing market estimates which predicted a correction 16.5% and compared with an upwardly revised 18.7% contraction in the previous month.
This marks an export contraction for the seventh consecutive month, along with a decline in sales in all sectors, namely; mining (-28%), especially LNG (-37.8%) and condensate & other petroleum (-26.8%)
Meanwhile, Malaysian imports also fell 11.1% from the previous year to MYR99.95 billion in September 2023, missing market estimates of a 12.2% decline and slowing sharply from the 21.2% decline in the previous month.
This marks a contraction for the seventh consecutive month, due to a decrease in purchases of semi-finished goods (-15.6%), which was caused by a decrease in purchases of food & beverages, processing, especially for industry (-59.2%)
The weakening of Malaysia's exports and imports is also reflected in its trade balance which continues to narrow to MYR24.5 billion (Rp. 82.08 trillion) in September 2023 from MYR31.8 billion (Rp. 106.53 trillion) in the same month the previous year, but greater from a market estimate of MYR22.7 billion.
Furthermore, in the first nine months of 2023, the country's trade surplus fell to MYR177.3 billion from MYR188 billion in the same period the previous year.
The depreciation of the ringgit also had an impact on the 10 year tenor Malaysian Government Bonds. The highest yield on these bonds was recorded on October 23 2023 at 4.2% or the highest since the last year. High yields indicate that investors are selling the bonds they bought because yields have an inverse correlation with bond prices.
The surge in bond yields is increasingly burdensome for the government considering that the higher the yield offered, the government has an obligation to pay quite high yields.
The Malaysian Statistics Department released debt service charges borne by the Malaysian government which continued to increase for the first two quarters from 2018 to 2023.
Not only that, domestic debt in the form of treasury bills also crept up for the first two quarters from 2018 to 2023. The increasing number of treasury bills will directly increase the portion of the Malaysian government's total domestic debt.
Malaysia has been experiencing high growth over the past few years. We expect growth to be stabilised and matured. Too much development without slowing down risks overheating the economy. Malaysia is too much developed in many areas not only in KL but the entire country. Mega projects like ECRL and Pan Borneo are still going ahead according to plan.

Further more other PM than Anwar Ibrahim is collecting debt the worst of them are Najib (50 % GDP to debt ratio before him) , and Muhyiddin.

terus teranglah penasihat kewangan dan ekonomi kerajaan, hutang besarlah yg melemahkan RM selamatkan diri bertahan dari faktor perbankan di USA. Berobatlah sakit ini.
Did they fall for China’s debt trap too?
BS on MMT. Malaysia is not like the US. The amount money that required to be printed to settle the have a healthy debt to gdp ratio, in a number of years will tip into depreciation of the ringgit and in turn inflation.
Its not BS... its the truth..
You have oversimplified things - if debt is used for growth stimulus, it can be a good thing. What if it is used to line pockets? Ask any Malaysian, they will tell you that debt was not used fruitfully.
U are assuming once the money is used by the government its gone, that is a myth.. in reality money works as circular flow, principal of economics.. its called "Circular Flow on Income in 4 Factor Economy" as long the "newly printed debt money" ended up in a bank. as deposits.. it will circulate to the Private Sector as loan to businesses for investment or to consumers as liquidity to spend money on good and services in private sector busineses..
MISINFORMATION. How can anyone justify such massive debt.
Most of the money given to gaza over Malaysia. Why pm Palestine is not helping malaysian and blame rich people for not paying enough for tax? Stop lying to us
Msia dgn lagu projek mega dan kini hutang mega.
Ini bukan penlipur lara, tetapi derita rakyat jelata.
Serampang 2 mata mesti dilaksanakan.
1. Jana pendapatan baru
2. Himpun segala bekas menteri dahulu dan yg masih menteri sampai sekarang, yg dah mati panggil waris nya. Paksaan mesti dibuat menyerahkan segala kekayaan mereka kpd negara byat bayar hutang. Seribu satu projek negara dilipat 10 ganda separuh milik mereka, maka inilah tempoh hutang terus berganda tak dpt langsai.
There must be a proficient Minister of Finance to manage the numbers and control projects in the country.
In the first place, civil servants salary can be supplemented by allowance and not an increase as the pensions will bankrupt the country in years to come.
Due the the digital era, staff in the govt can be reduced and good staff can be retrained on efficiency with a new ecosystem.
Encourage buy local. Encourage agriculture. Local industries
Manage foreign workers. Too many around.
Train local workers to be proficient.
Where and How did the debt 1.5 T come from. Manage it properly.
We need to encourage exports.
Weed our inefficient staff in the govt. Wasting tax payer's resources.
Eradicate corruption in the govt depts.
Reformasi has not started ?
I think we need to stop new mega project and focus more on paying debt + improving existing infrastructure. Not for eternity, only until we can pay back 40 to 50 percent of the debt before starting new mega project.
Stolen home money. National debt money. No sweat. Got Pandan can already.
All Najib's fault. If he wasn't leader, we would no debt and Malaysia would become a developed country.
you poor thing
Pm Anwar already announce that Rm 4.5 trillion lost/ stolen through corruption,mismanagement Over a 25 year period .Not only Najib .
There is no doubt whatever that Malaysia is rich,due to the unforeseen past events like the pandemic,n the political instability which is not fully settled, the current PM cannot over night set the disputation of the country economic mess, the country discard some unpopular policies, like entertaining too much with racist politicians, gradually restrict Bantuan mentalility ,help those really impoverished,work a solution over subsidy win win policy? Must deal with the corrupt seriously,foremost be very united with the Sabah n Sarawak, interdependency !,
Yg terlibat jangan. Kasi lepas sitar harta mereka utk bayar hutang
first of all I really do not agree with the financial handouts of 100 to 200 ringgit to all the citizens. For me with such of billions of ringgit in allocations, it would be better to establish a manufacturing hub instead. First it can create jobs while let the employed citizens generate consumption instead. Giving handout I would not say it is bad but at least help those who is real needed people such as provide them with food coupons or even support them in basic needs during their hardship times while provide the jobs or necessary skill training to enable them to look for employment.
We already hv manufacturing hubs.
say whatever it is, humanity has always been over-estimating their ability in doing/handling things or matter, not until it goes out of hand. To me lesser debt is always best policy = lesser burden and more space to wriggle in urgent times (i.e COVID).
O ....Malaya is buried in a mire of debt
this vidoe is does not adress our debt issue ,it just repeats the same story about the MMT (with out clear explaination )- which has never been proven as a sucessful solution in any nation anywhere in the world .
It is proven in UK, Japan, United States, Singapore, UAE, China, South Korea, Canada... shall i say the rest of the world..
Why still spend money unnecessarily?
China debt. Explain that ledger. 🙄🙄🙄
😂😂😂😂😂 all his cabinet member are the cause of the debt 😂😂😂😂😂 and this guy is like finger pointing others 😂😂😂
Dead end in the hands of Malay politicians!
I think Malaysia need to sell Putra Jaya to Bangla, in order to payback their debt problem, it is what it is my friends 🙏💪
is like you are saying Singapore to sell tekong island to keep more reserve😂😂

I think Indon still our babu haram & psk😊
Market inefficiencies caused by useless policies...
There are 2 kinds of debt - good and bad. Singapore has a debt more than Malaysia at USD 550 billion but nobody bats an eyelid. The reason is Singapore sets its own currency rate while Malaysia sets it against a basket of currencies especially the USD. Also Malaysia has a foreign external reserve of about USD 110 billion (Singapore at USD 280 billion) enough for 9 months of imports and only 10~15% of Malaysia's debt is foreign debt which is very low. Malaysia is far away from a 'debt trap' nations like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Mozambique, South Africa, Algeria, etc. with all having huge foreign debts. During the 1997 Asian Economic crisis, then Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir thumbed his nose at the IMF and fixed the Malaysian Ringgit at RM3.80 to the dollar when it was swinging wildly up to RM4.60. Anwar should empower the Central Bank (BNM) to partly fix the exchange rate without the need to cough up huge USD reserves and allow a market free-rate. Meanwhile, as in any government, debt should be curtailed and Malaysia must do this in cutting salaries, emoluments and pensions which swallows a sizable chunk of the annual budget. The legacy of slanted 'bumiputra' (affirmative action policies favoring the Muslim Malays) where 96% of government servants are Malays must be stopped to save the nation !
O look, a racist comment toward the natives of Malaysia (Bumiputera) which includes non-muslims and non malays as well. Yikes.

Malaysia has lots of money - no debts at all, Jho Low told me.....
What are you talking about? The amount owed by a 50 teacher secondary school is already about RM 180 billion each year. Just multiply it by the roughly what 150 schools in the state of Penang an😊d another 25 covering every state but just secondary schools. How many are the amounts? About RM 875000 billion and that covers only on the schools and teachers but just how about the university and colleges plus the other sectors in politics and administration. It is not too far to say a factor of at least 500 times making the personal debt up at RM 437500000 billion ringgit just for 1 year. To get the true amount at least by another factor of at least 25 times and the amount easily comes to RM 9,710,000,000 billion. The lslamics have slipped up as they still don't have any chance of recovering any of the unreported esoteric incomes and the taxes charged for them. The rest of the comments are just plain dumb and can never explain the direction and displacement of our fate under the endowment tainted and esoteric lslamic system of government and the people should ask them about their two main final objectives for at least the Malaysian society.
Don't make anymore liability! I like to see Anwar and his friends solve rhie one , they say more actions and less talk and promises please !
Banglasia boleh

Does the modern monetary theory hold any water? Even the Federal Reserve struggles with it.
since 2008 whole world uses MMT... its fine... Japan is the best example.. with 260% dept to gdp never goes bankrupt..
Foreign debts impinges on the premise of Sovereignty
Only 3 percent.. 3% are mostly Yen anyway.. yen are extremely cheap .
@@zarith87 Thanks for the info. Didn't know the Ringgit is that heavily weighted to Yen.
