Budget 2023 which was tabled in Parliament last Friday (Oct 7) should not be perceived as an election manifesto, nor was it done in vain, said incumbent Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin.
He said caretaker Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is committed to tabling the budget in the Dewan Rakyat again, should he receive the people’s mandate after the upcoming general election.
“I don’t think it was pointless. The people know that it will be brought back by Ismail Sabri as BN’s prime minister candidate if he gets the mandate from the people,” he said during the launch of a book titled ‘An Overview of Disaster Life Support in Disaster Management’ at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.
“Everything that was in the presentation by the finance minister is the expenditure that has been allocated.
“It’s not a manifesto based on mere promises, that’s the difference between a budget and a manifesto,” Khairy added.
Earlier today, Perikatan Nasional (PN) information chief Azmin Ali said the tabling of Budget 2023 was a pointless waste of manpower and time.
He said PN, on the other hand, has always believed that full attention should be given to the revitalisation of the economy.
