PUTRAJAYA: Newly-minted Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng has hinted that the people can expect the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Government to deliver more of its promises, come Budget day. Without divulging details, he said: "It will be on Nov 2, you got to wait." Saying that strengthening the country's economy was definitely the top priority, he added that the Government would be keeping a close eye on the country's fiscal deficit. This year marks the ninth consecutive year of fiscal consolidation from a peak of 6.7% in 2009. Promising that the Pakatan Harapan Government would be steadfast in its promise of transparency and good governance, Lim said it was working towards having less interference in Government-Linked Companies (GLC) and Government-Linked Investment Companies (GLIC).
