WHAT SAY THE EXPERTS? Distortions to make Najib look bad

WHAT SAY THE EXPERTS? Distortions to make Najib look bad
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he has no problems with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak other than the fact that Malaysia is in debt.
If Malaysia is not in debt, there is no issue.
Maybe we can look at the statistics below.
From these statistics it does not give an impression that Malaysia is going bankrupt, like what the opposition is saying, or that Malaysia is worse off than many other countries.
This is the trouble when we generalise without offering statistics and details.
There is just too much exaggeration, which is meant to make the prime minister look bad, but when we look at the details it is not as what they say.
