LETTER: Malaysia's 2027 Budget, with a total allocation of RM510 billion, sets out a comprehensive plan to support economic growth while addressing the needs of the people.
The increase from RM470 billion in the previous year signals the government's continued efforts to strengthen public services, support households and invest in the country's future.
The RM16 billion allocation for Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) is an important measure to help households manage rising living costs.
For many lower- and middle-income households, such assistance can provide much-needed relief, particularly in meeting daily expenses such as food and other basic necessities.
