The central bank said on Thursday for 2019, domestic demand will remain the key driver of growth though it was cautious about moderating global growth and its fallout on the local economy.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia can achieve GDP growth of above 5% this year despite the current projection of between 4.8 to 4.9%, says Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He noted that while changes in government in other countries would trigger riots and street demonstrations to bring the government down, this has not been the case in Malaysia.
