Auditor-General Datuk Nik Azman Nik Abdul Majid

KUALA LUMPUR: The government’s over dependence on taking new loans to finance the repayment of loan principals which have matured, has been described as worrying, says Auditor-General Datuk Nik Azman Nik Abdul Majid.

This is because the loans should be paid using existing proceeds or any surplus of the government proceeds, he added.
