#KiniNews | Anwar: No guarantee yet Budget 2021 will be easily passed
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said today that it shouldn't be assumed Budget 2021 will receive full support in Parliament if it isn't amended to take better care of the people.
The Port Dickson MP said this in response to the speech delivered by Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz on Friday which did not seem to attempt to secure bipartisan support for the budget as it did not incorporate demands made by Pakatan Harapan MPs.
"I would like to stress here, I do not want there to be an easy assumption. The situation now has changed.
"The government, the finance minister, and prime minister are aware that there is not yet a guarantee that the budget in its current form unless amended to take care of the people as per our (Harapan) demands, will be easily passed," said Anwar in his debate of the Supply Bill (Budget) 2021.
