KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian economy must remain resilient in order to lay the foundation for future growth and prosperity, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
Speaking on Thursday ahead of his much-awaited Budget speech Friday, the Prime Minister underscored the importance of continuing with the transformation agenda.
He said the Government must fulfil its pledges to the people and avoid populist measures that would undermine economic stability.
Noting the global financial crisis and Eurozone crisis, Najib said that a robust economy would help safeguard Malaysia's future.
"We cannot control what happens abroad, but we can work to strengthen the domestic resilience of our economy," Najib, also the Finance Minister, said in a statement.
He went on to say: "The Government will do what is right for our economy. Some measures may not be popular now, but over the medium-term, what is good for the economy is also good for the people." - Bernama
