BIODATA | LIM GUAN ENG | Finance Minister
” I’m Malaysian, don’t see myself as Chinese“
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad named Lim Guan Eng as finance minister to help carry out an economic plan that includes scrapping consumption taxes.
“We want to review all contracts that are not in favor or do not benefit Malaysia,” Lim said in a briefing in Kuala Lumpur. “We are all Malaysians here. Our focus is to help Malaysians.”
His first priority would be to review “unfavourable contracts” and “ones that don’t benefit Malaysians”, a reference to election campaign criticism of large investments from China in major infrastructure projects.
“The focus is to help those who find it hard to make ends meet and our focus is to make life easier,” said Lim, who is secretary-general of DAP.
He reiterated Pakatan Harapan’s election campaign promise to abolish the controversial Goods and Services Tax.
