I don't mind us having low rm value than any other currency. Maybe gomen is focusing more on exports than imports.

What worries me is our debt to gdp ratio. Almost 55% edi. Gomen can no longer borrow from the public so this indicates that we're going to have gst implemented.

the 55% thing is really just a govt created limit, which they can extend if need be.

Anwar could open up back the Finance Ministry. Only Mahathir made it that PM = Finance Minister as well.
