Getting to grips with debt


PRIME Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng and the new Cabinet must be congratulated for revealing officially and publicly that our national debt is as high as RM1087bil or more than one trillion ringgit for the first time in our history.

The prompt and transparent manner of this revelation so soon after the Pakatan Harapan government took over, after 60 years of Barisan Nasional rule, is impressive.
