KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 — Malaysia isn’t a “failed state” nor is it heading in that direction, said Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the National Recovery Plan , Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz. today, he said the assessment is unfair and flawed as it failed to take into account Malaysia’s rising vaccination rate and the various government aid packages which he said have helped millions of people.
“References to the ‘white flag movement’ as further evidence of impending failed statehood not only miss the point that democracy is alive and well in Malaysia, but also completely fail to appreciate the historical context and socio-political psyche of the Malaysian masses. “The facts are clear: Despite being burdened with legacy debt and socio-economic structural issues, as well as political uncertainty, RM38 billion was successfully disbursed in the form of direct aid and subsidies last year, while RM45 billion has been allocated for this year, with a balance of RM28 billion still to be disbursed,” he said in the opinion piece.
With more vaccines set to arrive this month, more of the Malaysian population will be vaccinated, and by year's end, 80 per cent of the adult population would be vaccinated and more states can move into Phase Two of the NRP, he added.
