KUALA LUMPUR: An opposition member of Parliament today has called on the government to explain the implementation status of development projects under the 2026 Budget, as only 32.6 per cent have reached the post-implementation stage while more than 60 per cent remain at the pre-implementation or implementation stages.
Kota Baru MP Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the breakdown was necessary to assess the government's efficiency in delivering development projects funded by public money.
Takiyuddin, when debating the Supply Bill 2027, said the 2026 Budget allocated RM81 billion for development expenditure, accounting for 17.2 per cent of the total RM470 billion budget.
"Of the total, only 3,120 projects, or 32.6 per cent, had reached the post-implementation stage, while 6,265 projects, representing more than 60 per cent, remained at the pre-implementation or implementation stages," he said in Dewan Rakyat.
