‘Are there enough funds for 10MP projects?’
By Roselind Jarrow, Free Malaysia Today
KUCHING: The former president of Dayak Bidayuh National Association Peter Minos welcomes the measures taken by the government under the 10MP to improve the lives of Malaysians and to propel the country into new heights towards developed status.
He however questions the government’s ability to carry out the projects in view of her debts of RM233 billion.
“I hope the government has the funds for the projects proposed under the 10MP as the country has a huge debts of RM233 billion.
“We do not want Malaysia to be too indebted as this will result in bad consequences,” said Minos, who is an influential member of Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu.
“We want Malaysia to rise up in development, but not to be bogged down with huge debts,” he said when contacted by FMT.
Minos is also worried about leakages and improper use of the funds at implementation stage.
“The Prime Minister must get the right people who are honest. This is very important,” he said.
His concern must have stemmed from reports by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission that 60 percent of the government projects in Sarawak were found to have “leakages”.
