Our Talkback with Ministers series continued today and we looked into the question of how the government makes and spends its money.

The first series of the 2013 AG Report was tabled earlier this month and highlighted further failures in the government administration system; consequently causing significant mismanagement of finances and a loss of millions of ringgit of taxpayers’ money.

Why does this continue to happen? Are we a nation living beyond our means?

Helping us find the answers today was, Dato’ Sri Idris Jala, CEO of PEMANDU.
