Treasury: Malaysia not going bankrupt


The central bank announced that this was because he had ceased to hold the office of secretary-general of the Treasury from that date.

PUTRAJAYA: The claim by certain people that Malaysia will be bankrupt following the ringgit slump and drop in oil price is wrong, says Treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah (pic).

He said the country’s economy was still growing strong at the rate of more than 5% and new approaches would be undertaken to ensure continued prudent spending by the Government.
