This book analyses the distribution of government expenditure by income group, stratum and state. Besides general expenditure and development expenditure, this book examines government expenditures on social services such as health and education. Fiscal Policy and Inequality in Malaysia also highlights the equity implications of the government’s fiscal stance, particularly on public health. It also highlights Malaysia’s privatisation experiences in terms of contradictions in fiscal stance as well as equity implications.
