Proven even Inconsistency is ok as long from the mouth of people you want to hear from.
KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia has enough revenue to remove the Goods and Services Tax (GST), Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Sunday (May 13) as he reiterated a promise to keep key campaign pledge of the newly-elected Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition government.
Speaking during a special televised address to the nation, he touched on various topics, ranging from the new government's focus on stamping out corruption to relooking a law against "fake news".
Dr Mahathir did not elaborate on his comments about the government's fiscal position, but his comments are at odds with his previous statements.
At a press conference on Friday after he was sworn in as the country's seventh prime minister, Dr Mahathir claimed that existing government debt has reached RM 1 trillion (S$335 billion).
