Budget 2021 (Part 2) - Overinvest In Health, Say Advocates

The Malaysian Health Coalition is calling for the 2021 federal budget to commit at least 4% of national GDP to the public health care system. This is double the current allocation to MoH. While the DAP-linked think tank Research for Social Advancement advocates greater spending including on social safety nets. We speak to their representatives. Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Dr Khor Swee Kheng, co-founder Malaysian Health Coalition and Frederik Paulus, Economic Advisor for the think tank, Research for Social Advancement.
