PRIME Minister Anwar Ibrahim said he will review the details of the re-tabled Budget 2023 to help ensure the best level of delivery.

The finance minister said it was also to ensure that the problems people are facing are dealt with efficiently and fairly.

“We must make sure the benefits reach the people and the groups targeted by the government,” he said in a Facebook post today.

Anwar said this during a luncheon with Pakatan Harapan MPs, where he spoke about the importance of MPs playing their roles effectively.

Budget 2023, tabled by Anwar on February 24, involves an allocation of RM388.1 billion, with RM289.1 billion for operating expenditure, and RM99 billion for development expenditure including RM2 billion in contingency reserve.

Last Thursday, the Supply Bill 2023, the first budget under Anwar’s leadership, was passed at the policy stage in the Dewan Rakyat. – Bernama, March 13, 2023.
