Country momentum +2 — Quarterly momentum: the Bureau's read on the country's trajectory over the last quarter, from −10 (deteriorating fast) to +10 (accelerating).

Why it matters

The reformist who waited decades to reach the summit — leading an ASEAN economy at 5-6% growth.
Record H1 trade of RM1.796T; inflation down to 1.9%; the ringgit's best year in a decade.
Brokered the Gaza ceasefire with Trump; chaired ASEAN 2025; a BRICS partner — diplomacy at his peak.
The debit: Sedition and SOSMA laws still used against critics — the reformist's oldest promise unkept.
