KUALA LUMPUR (April 14): The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) is concerned over the recent statement by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin that the government is lacking funds, following the various stimulus packages and the increased RM600 billion budget. The think-tank said while it recognises the lengths to which the government took in allocating funds and implementing the stimulus packages, the statement that the funds came directly from the government coffers “is a misrepresentation of where the money came from”.
