Masidi: RM1 billion bond repayment due to BN's planning, not Warisan's action
Masidi KOTA KINABALU (Aug 10): Opposition leader Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal has repeatedly claimed that in 2019, his administration paid off RM1 billion in debt left by the previous government, presenting it as evidence of sound financial management. However, State Finance Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun said the facts tell a different story. Masidi said the bond in question was the State Government of Sabah Bonds (2014/2019), issued in December 2014 during the Barisan Nasional administration. 'Bank Negara Malaysia imposed a condition for the issuance of the bond, that the State Government must set up a dedicated Sinking Fund (Kumpulan Wang Amanah Bagi Bayaran Balik Bon) to ensure full repayment of the bond debt upon maturity. This was a safeguard to prevent the repayment from becoming a huge financial burden on the State's finances,' he explained in a statement on Sunday. Under the terms of the bond, he said the State Government was required to place RM200 million in the Sinking Fund each year for five years, until 2019. By the time the Warisan administration took office in 2018, most of the funds needed for repayment had already been secured. In fact, in the following year there was RM1 billion in the Sinking Fund, which enabled the State Government to make a one-off bullet payment for the full settlement of the bond debt. Therefore, he said it is not accurate to suggest that this repayment was the result of any special action by the Warisan government. The payment was the outcome of prudent financial planning put in place by the previous administration years before the bond matured. 'I have in fact addressed the same issue during my winding-up speech at the State Legislative Assembly sitting in July 2024,' he added. Masidi reaffirmed the current administration's commitment to providing clear and accurate information about the state's finances and to correcting misleading statements.

State bond repayment not solely Warisan's doing, says Masidi
Published on: Sunday, August 10, 2025 Published on: Sun, Aug 10, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: State Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun ( pic ) has clarified that the repayment of RM1 billion in state bonds in 2019 was not solely the result of actions by the then Warisan government. He said the bonds, issued in December 2014 during the Barisan Nasional administration, came with a Bank Negara Malaysia requirement for a dedicated Sinking Fund to ensure repayment on maturity. Advertisement Under the terms, RM200 million was to be deposited annually into the fund over five years, allowing the state to accumulate the necessary amount before 2019. By the time the Warisan administration assumed office in 2018, most of the funds had already been secured for the repayment. Masidi said the RM1 billion in the Sinking Fund in 2019 enabled a one-off payment to settle the bond debt in full. He stressed that the repayment reflected prudent planning by the previous administration rather than any special initiative by its successor. Advertisement Masidi added that the current government remains committed to providing accurate information on state finances and countering any misleading claims. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
