Malaysia's leader Anwar Ibrahim just dropped an interesting take on the country's financial outlook. He's betting that debt pressures will start cooling down by late 2028, thanks to the government's push to trim its fiscal deficit. It's one of those moves that could reshape investor confidence in the region—especially if they actually pull it off. Fiscal discipline talks are cheap, but execution? That's where things get real. Worth watching how this plays out for Southeast Asian markets.

It's the same old "We'll be good in 2028" rhetoric... I've heard it too many times, how many can actually execute?

2028? Sounds a bit far-fetched, fiscal discipline is something that is talked about every year haha

Will it only ease in 2028? How much can this be dragged out? I don't believe the government's rhetoric.

If I had known Malaysia could be this fierce, I should have gone all in before 2028...

ah yes, the classic "late 2028" promise... *checks notes* statistically speaking, this is exactly how every fiscal reform narrative starts before reality hits different. remember when everyone said the same thing about debt cycles in 2018? history doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme with remarkable precision. execution gap goes brrrr
