The size of government is going to be as big as ever, if not bigger. There is no sign that the Prime Minister will cut the size of government and allow the private sector to flourish.
I like the decision to make it easier to become a permanent resident (PR) of Malaysia. We need to attract talents from around the world, and there is no point preventing people from settling in this country. Immigration is a good thing and it should be made easier.On a different note, I must say that this budget looks very much like a preparation for a general election. There are promises for more money for JKKK, Kafa teachers and imams, as well as price cap for Plus tolls, and various other “carrots” are being dangled to voters.
As ever, the challenge now is in the implementation. Corruption and leakages must be reduced. We have heard so many times our political leaders shouting bombastic ideas to the rakyat, but corruption and leakages are still rampant. This must be fixed immediately.
