[Malaysia] Report: Treasury Wants RM3b Cut To Health Ministry’s 2026 Budget (codeblue.galencentre.org)

The FMT report specified other proposed budget cuts of RM664 million from the Treasury, RM647 million (Home Ministry), RM571 million (Rural and Regional Development Ministry), RM508 million (Digital Ministry), RM508 million (Defence Ministry), and RM466 million (Education Ministry).

Reuters reported that the directive issued today by Treasury secretary-general Johan Mahmood Merican said the government’s public subsidy bill was expected to reach RM58.4 billion this year, far surpassing the RM15 billion originally allocated under Budget 2026

Nurhisham Hussein, an economic adviser at the Prime Minister’s Office, said recently that Malaysia’s fuel subsidy bill soared to RM6 billion last month, before climbing to RM7 billion this month, amid the US-Iran war. This works out to RM2,300 every second

All that just so people can sit in their car idling for 1 hour of doomscrolling.

don't have a functioning public transport system anywhere, at least not 12 years ago, not even in major cities like Kuala Lumpur.

I'm not sure where you get your info from, but Kuala Lumpur or Greater Kuala Lumpur(area surrounding Kuala Lumpur)
