Tengku Zafrul claims that Budget 2023 will still be on October 28.
Rumors that the deadline for submitting the Budget 2023 will be earlier than expected have been refuted by Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
According to Zafrul, the budget for 2023 will be presented on October 28 in accordance with the Parliament’s schedule.
My knowledge indicates that it is still the same as the Parliament calendar for October 28. According to Tengku Zafrul, it is still October 28 in the calendar.
It was previously stated that rushing to table Budget 2023 would be a hint that the next general election (GE15) will be held shortly after.
The breakdown between political parties on the government’s side makes it extremely unlikely that the 15th general election will be scheduled before the national budget has been presented, according to former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
