The government is unlikely to cut tax rates due to the RM1 trillion debt and liabilities as well as lower revenue collection from SST.

PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) has clarified that he has never apologised to his former deputy Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who was sacked and arrested for corrupt practices and sodomy in 1998.

"I didn't tell him that, but other people put words into my mouth because they want me to apologise, but I have never made any formal apologies to him," he said during an interview with the BBC programme HARDtalk.
