KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 — DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng today described Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s fifth Madani Budget as the “most reform-minded” budget yet.
Lim, who is also Bagan MP, said expanding the social safety net to gig workers, persons with disabilities and senior citizens, providing more inclusive funding allocations and adjusting personal income tax rates to address past injustices were steps in the right direction.
“These initial steps of budgetary reforms give hope that there will be more future substantial meaningful reforms in the pipeline that will contain cost of living increases, creating sustainable economic growth especially for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and generating prosperity for all by ensuring that there is more money to spend for Malaysian households,” he said in a statement on Facebook.
