LETTER | Budget 2020 may have missed its mark.

| The 2020 national budget has been unveiled and Malaysians across the board are abuzz with their take on the reallocation of funds and the slew of new measures introduced by the government.

There is no denying that the budget definitely has positive aspects - it focusses on improving conditions for working women such as wage incentives and extended maternity leave. It introduced a new income tax band of 30 percent for those earning more than RM2 million a year, a stab at sharing the wealth more evenly. It introduces a special financing scheme to encourage Malaysians looking to become homeowners.

"Despite the pre-election Harapan Indian manifesto which promised an allocation of RM400 million per year, B75 have only been allocated RM100 million, of which 80 prevent is set aside for “political exposure”, rather than the money being used for integrating lasting solutions. The Malaysian Indian allocation seems especially sparse when compared to the RM8 billion for the Bumiputera agenda, RM2 billion for Mara student loans, another RM1.3 billion for Mara, RM1.

And the Indian bootlickers of Mahathir chedetofficial tell MINNALfm to talk about the 100 million like as though it is 100 billion. And the best part of it is that, they whack Indians with Sosma and keep the Indians occupied with that fake news.
