Again in Kuala Selangor, finance minister says Malaysia’s inflation rate near lowest in world thanks to high subsidies

KUALA SELANGOR, July 8 — Malaysia’s official inflation rate of 2.8 per cent was among the lowest globally because tens of billions in public funds were being spent on subsidies annually, Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz said.

Tengku Zafrul added that the subsidy bill exceeded even the RM75 billion he allocated for development spending in this year’s Budget.“How many schools and things we could have built with that money?” he said. There is speculation that Tengku Zafrul, a senator, could contest in this constituency in the next general election.Tengku Zafrul has denied this, but his persistent and frequent presence in the constituency — including today’s event — continues to fuel the rumour.

And how are u financing the subsidies? Increasing our debt?

Malaysia Boleh 💪💪
