KUALA LUMPUR: The ongoing restructuring policies in Malaysia serve to fortify the country’s economic capacity to absorb global shock or financial turbulence ahead, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The Prime Minister said the government remains confident that the new policies would create a stronger base and a balance between prudent spending and to ensure the private sector was given a strong boost.
