KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — The Supply (Budget) Bill 2027, which was passed at the policy stage following a two-week debate, stood out as a key development during this week’s Dewan Rakyat session as the proceedings also covered a range of other issues, including administrative governance, national development, and public welfare.
Budget 2027, tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on October 9, secured the approval of the majority of Dewan Rakyat members on Thursday which allows the Bill to proceed to the committee stage, which is scheduled to take place from November 2 to November 26.
Also in the spotlight this week were government clarifications regarding national financial management, the recovery of assets linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), and the role of government-linked investment companies (GLICs) in advancing the public well-being agenda.
