Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has assured that Budget 2023, which will be presented again next month, will meet the needs of every class of people and community group.
Anwar, who is also finance minister, said the contents of Budget 2023 are still being fine-tuned, but the government under his administration will not sideline any party.
“It’s not ready yet (Budget 2023), this is the problem. Sarawak is asking for allocation; Sabah is also asking for allocation.
“Under my administration, the M40 is not marginalised. The B40 is important, but we will also pay attention to the M40,” he told the Malaysian media at the end of a two-day visit here today.
Also present were Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg, Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor and Foreign Minister Zambry Abdul Kadir.
Budget 2023 will be presented again in Parliament on Feb 24.
Anwar was previously reported as saying that Budget 2023 will not be bound by what was presented by the previous government.
However, he added, the recommendations made in the previous budget will still be taken into account in the new Budget 2023 figures.
