FMT reports Kadir saying: Guan Eng overplayed his hand on debt.
PETALING JAYA: Influential former editor Kadir Jasin, observes that Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng has gone through a “baptism of fire” after his recent revelations about the full size of total government debt and liabilities.
Many argued that Lim had gone too far and had hit out too hard with regard to the figures, an argument that Jasin agreed with.
His comment came a day after Lim faced international and domestic criticism and a sarcastic response from former prime minister Najib Razak, who “congratulated” him on spooking the financial and stock markets.
Najib followed up last night on Twitter by sarcastically noting the dramatic turnaround of the economy, from going to ruin during the election campaign, and being in good shape within days of Pakatan Harapan taking office.
Kadir, in a blog article yesterday, said that, in his opinion, Lim had “overplayed the nation’s debt too much”, although the new Pakatan Harapan goverment had found “the previous goverment had lied about our finances”. [...]

Looks like Guan Eng still wants to behave like he's in the Opposition and like his father, cari pasal a la 'ch'u-oi soo ong'.

And also remember the story of "The boy who cried wolf". Who would believe him after two bullshit calls?
