PETALING JAYA: The Pakatan Harapan-led government will likely continue Barisan Nasional-era policies for the sake of continuity, though this may further erode its popularity and support, an economist said.
Already, he said the government faced criticism over the reintroduction of the sales and services tax . It was aimed at reducing the cost of living, he said, but for many the change from the goods and services tax was largely ineffective in bringing down prices.Making matters worse was the reduction in government revenue to the tune of RM21 billion, even as Putrajaya continued megaprojects such as the East Coast Rail Link and Bandar Malaysia.
Firdaos believes the narrative about debts and corruption scandals are being recycled once too often, and that people want to see what PH has in store for real economic reform. In the meantime, he added, PH’s manifesto promises would continue to be a point of reference where the people’s expectations were concerned, and when these expectations did not reflect reality, PH’s popularity would be hurt.
In the rural area, people wanted aid and infrastructure, while in urban areas, they wanted economic stimuli and incentives for business.
