Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican

KUALA LUMPUR: The planned Fiscal Responsibility Bill that will be tabled at the next parliament session will put into law some of the country's bigger picture financial targets, said the Finance Ministry's Deputy Secretary General of Treasury (Policy) Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican.
