00:00An analyst said Brikata Nasional's shadow cabinet seems to be unorganized as it was

00:07unable to present an alternative budget for 2025.

00:12National Professors' Council fellow Azmi Hassan said a shadow budget would have showcased

00:17PN's ability to govern the country.

00:20Azmi said a shadow budget would have allowed the public to assess whether the government

00:25or the opposition was more competent in managing the nation's finances.

00:30Yesterday, Pasir Mas MP Ahmad Fadli Shari said it was unnecessary for PN to come up

00:36with its shadow budget as it required access to the government's revenue figures and

00:41projections.

00:43He was responding to a suggestion by Bayan Baru MP Simze Sin who said Pakatan Harapan

00:49unveiled an alternative budget between 2010 and 2017 when it was in opposition.

00:55Meanwhile, Lao Tzu Wei from International Islamic University Malaysia said PN might

01:01not be interested in producing an alternative budget as it would be ignored by the government.

01:06However, he said the shadow budget could have sparked discussions about PN's plans even

01:12if it was not accepted by the government.
