Malaysia’s 2025 Budget highlights a tension between bold ambitions and fiscal restraint. The push to cut the deficit below 3% risks underfunding development, weakening competitiveness, and worsening inequality.

In Malaysia, this comparison goes beyond simple economics—it reveals something deeper about how our housing and consumer systems function.
