Malaysia according to Dr Mahathir, has received the approval from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for the bond’s issuance, but it was up to the Finance Ministry to continue the negotiations. “Some say it is dangerous for us to use the Samurai bond because it may go up, which is a possibility but if we do not change, we use loans with 6-7 per cent interest rate, it will put pressure on us,’ he said.
