Unlike a manifesto, everything that was announced in Budget 2023 is a promise that will be realistically fulfilled and indeed fulfillable, especially in terms of finance, Ismail Sabri Yaakob today said.
The incumbent prime minister said the budget could not lie as everything had been carefully studied before it was tabled in Parliament and broadcast live on national television for all to see.
“In a manifesto, they can promise you everything, the sky, the stars and even the moon, but let’s not fall into that trap again. Let’s not forget the many (empty) promises they made in their manifesto before.
“When we table the budget, we have the money (to spend). That’s the difference.
“We don’t make empty promises, we have the money, and we have discussed the plan financially to decide whether our funds are sufficient or not… the money is ready (to be spent), it just needs approval. That’s the difference between a budget and a manifesto,” he said when launching the Keluarga Malaysia Urban Community Enhancement Programme today.
Also present were Housing and Local Government Minister Reezal Merican Naina Merican, Higher Education Minister Noraini Ahmad, and Rural Development Minister Mahdzir Khalid.
