Rafizi: Govt remains committed to improving welfare of the people despite debts, high expenditure


KUALA LUMPUR: The unity government remains committed to carrying out various initiatives and programmes for the welfare and well-being of the people despite being burdened by debts and the huge cost involved in administrating the country, says Rafizi Ramli.

The Economy Minister said the government has limited reserves since its revenue is only around RM300bil a year while the government would need to spend a huge sum for giving out subsidies, administrative costs and to pay interest on debts.
