If you going to compare inflation rate from USD to MYR , I’m sure its very low since USD is down falling massively. About to print more money to do this and that. Guys please be remembered, Anwar had 2 years in the office and another 2 more years, hope we can see how government bring up the economy. Didn’t even try to mention what has to be done on foreign company tax , keep targeting local to save this for that isn’t going to end up well. Reduce the tax on foreign companies , reduce the tax of imported goods. It’ll stimulate the economy.
