Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said good debt management would be maintained to ensure the fiscal position and macroeconomy remained strong for managing any crisis.

PETALING JAYA: The Goods and Services Tax (GST) impacted all Malaysians, including the poor for the first time as they never had to pay taxes previously, claims Lim Guan Eng (pic).

The Finance Minister said the GST imposed a heavy financial burden on the ordinary rakyat until they felt compelled to change the government for the first time in 61 years.
