WHEN Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took charge as the Prime Minister back in November 2022, his key pledge was to fix the nation’s fiscal leakages and corruption that have taken root for decades.

Nearly two-and-a-half years have passed, and to Anwar’s credit, there have been notable fiscal improvements such as targeted subsidy rationalisation, lower fiscal deficit and slower growth of new debt.
