Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng says the government's fiscal consolidation is on track as it targets to reduce the deficit from 3.7% of GDP in 2018 to below 3% by 2021.

SHAH ALAM: The government will ensure that no one is left out in its efforts to implement more needs-based policies in the future, although several race-based policies are still in place, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng (pic).

He said the onus was on the government to assist those in need regardless of colour or creed.
