Umno supreme council member Bung Moktar Radin is puzzled over why Malaysians still donate to the Tabung Harapan (Hope Fund) set up to help alleviate the nation's debt.<br /><br />This is particularly so when the Pakatan Harapan government asked the people for contribution when it has yet to fulfil its election manifesto pledges, Bung Moktar said.<br /><br />"There are 10 to 20 countries with total debts exceeding US$1 trillion, with some of them reaching the US$2 trillion debt level. However, none of these countries asked it’s people to donate to a fund to pay the debt," he said in an interview with Malaysiakini last week.
