PM SAYS MALAYSIAN ECONOMY MUST REMAIN RESILIENT

Prime Minister Najib Razak said today that the Malaysian economy must remain resilient, in order to lay the foundations for future growth and prosperity.

Speaking on Thursday ahead of his Budget speech Friday, the Prime Minister underscored the importance of continuing with the Government's transformation agenda.

He added that the Government must fulfil its pledges to the people, and avoid populist measures that undermine economic stability.

Noting the recent global financial crisis and Eurozone crisis, the Prime Minister said that a robust economy helps safeguard Malaysia's future:

  We cannot control what happens abroad, but we can work to strengthen the domestic resilience of our economy.

The Prime Minister went on to say that the Government will do what is right for our economy. Some measures may not be popular now, but over the medium term what is good for the economy is also good for the people.
