What happened
The national administration's financial commitments reached RM300.95 billion in 2025. This increase was largely due to loans taken by DanaInfra Sdn Bhd and Malaysia Rail Link (MRL) to fund infrastructure projects. These loans are guaranteed by the federal government but are not included in the annual budget.

Why it matters
The federal government could ultimately be responsible for repaying these loans if the companies that borrowed the funds cannot pay. This situation raises questions regarding the authority that approves government guarantees for borrowing.
