Putrajaya forms public crowdfunding campaign to help Malaysian economy

(MMO) – The government today announced the formation of a public crowdfunding effort for Malaysians to donate and help the country’s economy.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the crowdfund, dubbed Malaysia’s Hope Fund (Tabung Harapan Malaysia), was formed following concern from fellow Malaysians over the economic mismanagement by the former Barisan Nasional government.

“There were many citizens, after knowing how bad is the economic state of the country, who were willing to donate to the government.

“We welcome this patriotic move by the people and we thank them,” he told the media after chairing the Cabinet meeting, here.
