Najib sarcastically 'congratulates' Pakatan over Petronas rating


PETALING JAYA: Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has sarcastically "congratulated" the Pakatan Harapan government over the downgrading of Petronas' outlook from stable to negative by Moody’s Investors Service. 

"Congratulations to the Harapan government ... this is the outcome of expert management in running the country's finances, and smart moves taken in Budget 2019 such as ordering Petronas to pay high dividends to cushion the shortfall in revenue," Najib said sarcastically in a Facebook post on Thursday (Nov 8).
