I will soon be tabling the next National Budget in my
capacity of Finance Minister. As a government elected by the people, I
believe everyone deserves a say on how we as a nation will progress next
year.
It gives me great pride to see that the rakyat share
our vision of seeing Malaysia succeed on the world stage.
Their
commitment shows from the encouraging response we always receive before
we table each year’s budget. This was most evident last year when we
sorted through over 2,500 comments and suggestions taken from various
social media platforms, the best of which were successfully incorporated
into the 2013 Budget.
With the current state of the world economy, it has
become even more important for us to come up with an ambitious yet
sensible budget that sets the right pace and direction of our country’s
growth. This is a daunting task but I fully believe that we can achieve
the best results by working together as a nation.
On the 26th of August, we will be providing a
platform for the rakyat to come together and share their views on the
2014 Budget. The discussions will focus on several topics including cost
of living, housing and urban living, healthcare, public safety and
other issues close to the hearts of the people. We will continue
collecting your input until the 8th of September, after which they will
be sent to the Finance Ministry for consideration.
To achieve our goal of becoming a high-income nation,
we need everyone to play their part. I am looking forward to seeing
your ideas
