oh btw, ur long ass post abt sabah. I think even 40% revenue reach sabah all will kena bolot.
"Debt and fiscal management wise it is showing a good progress so far
where and how u see, judge?
About Sabah, well I would urge you to check back my statement - This statement of yours is exactly what I stated.
"Money give also will be taken", "Your corrupt politicians will take no difference"
This is part of the reason why the sentiment is so strong, you see.
People have been saying, "even if the corrupt politicians take, the money still belongs to Sabah", the fact is federal is unable to repay everything one go already sours relationship and perception - combo that with Anwar's appeal on so called "legality" + people of peninsula bash and say such statements, only strengthens the resolve further.
===============
Fiscal management we can see from:
- Budget 2026 whereby budget deficit has narrowed from 4.1% > 3.8% > projected 3.6%;
- 1MDB debt has been recovered / paid off by almost >75%;
- Prudent spending / subsidy rationalization channeled to other usage;
If you see indirect outcomes:
- Strengthening of MYR against a basket of currencies; given that one pairing could be explained by weaker comparing currency i.e. USD, strengthening against a few major currencies at one go displays (a). Confidence in Malaysian economy growing; (b). Buying into the idea that Malaysia's political and regional stability is intact;
- Upgrading of several sovereign / company issued bonds to stable, again projects confidence by economists and rating agencies.
