Putrajaya’s Waistline - A Likely Reduction?

Recently, the government announced 53 measures to optimise public expenditure in view of the current challenging economic environment. They range from a freeze on civil service hires, to a cut in government-organised events and entertainment allowances.

This is a report by Keith Kam and Wei Lynn Tang.
