Budget 2011 views from the Parliament lobby
- 9 years ago
Soon after the Prime Minister's presentation of his budget 2011, there's a rush for views from both opposition and BN politicians.
Not unexpected, it was thumbs up from BN and thumbs down from PR.
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim criticised the budget as a naked appeal for votes that failed to deal with the deficit, which will shrink only slightly.
"It is clearly not a responsible budget," Anwar told AFP. "The focus on mega-projects will only benefit his cronies," he said of the premier.
Malaysia recently announced ambitious plans to double private investment over the next 10 years, and to propel annual growth to an average of 6 percent to meet its goal of achieving developed-nation status by 2020.
