Pakatan Harapan's Debt blunder

From Malaysia Kini:

The implementation of an RM100 monthly public transit pass would have "huge" financial implications for the federal government, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.

BN Youth leader Khairy Jamaluddin believes that the Pakatan Harapan administration may have exaggerated the national debt situation to buy time for the implementation of its election promises.

Pakatan Harapan has been using the "National Debt is bigger than expected" as a reason not to implement some of their campaign promises. 

I tend not to agree with their logic.  Looking for a reason not to implement policies is a bit of stupidity.  Blaming others is never the right way.  They should have some degree of knowledge how big the debt is or not make so many promises they cannot implement.  It is common knowledge every country's debt is larger than what is stated on "official records."  I don't think it should be a surprise for most competent parties that they have an idea what the debt is before they come into power.

I tend to agree with Khairy that Pakatan is using this debt media blitz as a way to not implement some of their promises.

I believe Pakatan Harapan should just take their lumps and not blame others.   But nonetheless, most people already know they are a new party and will take some time to adjust to governance.  Just don't make it worse by making a show of it.
