  • Cutting through the BS

    I’ve seen some folks comment on how this program’s interviewers can be pretty nasty, negative, etc…and that is exactly why I love this program. Tough questions help us learn what someone really thinks.

    As a corporate internal auditor I have so much to learn from their style.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MOF on Budget 2027: Subsidies, Goodies & Waad Nasional
Q: Tan Sri, what is the Treasury's stance on why we aren't going to GST just yet?
Merican says GST is comprehensive and ultimately places the tax burden on the final consumer. Given current cost-of-living and income concerns, the government is retaining SST while considering ways to reduce tax-on-tax effects, and has not ruled out GST in the future.
MOF on Budget 2027: Subsidies, Goodies & Waad Nasional
Q: Have these developments, Tan Sri, effectively killed the subsidy rationalization agenda from moving ahead?
Merican says the government has already rationalized subsidies for electricity, chicken, eggs, diesel and petrol, while protecting most households and reducing leakages to commercial users and cross-border smuggling. He says support continues despite higher prices.
Budget 2027: Can Malaysia Spend Big & Cut the Deficit?
Q: What's your perspective on the deficit being reduced as a share of GDP while remaining around 70 to 80 billion ringgit in absolute terms?
Goh says revenue is rising, but operating expenditure and fixed costs are also increasing, including subsidies, emoluments, debt servicing and pensions. She says a lasting improvement depends on maintaining an operating surplus and controlling expenditure.
Budget 2027: Can Malaysia Spend Big & Cut the Deficit?
Q: UOB's assessment is that Budget 2027 manages to remain pro-growth while preserving fiscal discipline. What gives you the confidence that the government has found the right balance here?
Goh says the budget supports the economy through federal spending, public-private partnerships and statutory bodies while retaining fiscal consolidation goals. She points to tax reliefs for middle-income earners, support for businesses and higher infrastructure spending.
HSS Engineers: Positioning for Malaysia's Next Infrastructure Cycle
Q: What should investors expect from HSS in terms of revenue and earnings growth over the next few years?
Azlina points to digitising HSS's project experience, using it to improve understanding and delivery, submit more competitive bids, strengthen client service and support recurring revenue.
