Remembering Harry Belafonte

Budget 2027 promises to grow Malaysia’s economy, attract investment and strengthen public finances. But can it deliver on these ambitions while addressing longstanding gaps in governance, regional development and economic competitiveness? We examine whether the Budget can build stronger local industries, create a more sustainable revenue base and prepare Malaysia for future energy shocks. We also look at the role of government-linked investment companies, the need for greater transparency in public spending, and whether stronger independent oversight is needed to hold the government accountable for its fiscal plans.
