PUTRAJAYA, Oct 14 — Budget 2027, tabled last Friday, has been well received by the public, demonstrating the success of the government’s engagement efforts at various levels, Madani Government spokesperson Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said.

The communications minister said the approach adopted by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had enabled the government to take into account the needs of different groups in society, making Budget 2027 different from previous Budgets.

“The prime minister directed ministers and the entire Finance Ministry team to listen, engage with stakeholders, hold discussions and gather feedback, views, memorandums and other input.

“Although the Budget tabled last Friday may not be perfect, it is much better, and we have generally seen a very positive reception, particularly for its social measures,” he said in his speech at the Communications Ministry’s October 2026 monthly assembly, organised by the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), here today.
