Budget 2027 more than numbers, says Anwar — it is a promise to the people

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasized that Budget 2027 is a "National Covenant" between the government and the people, aimed at fulfilling promises with integrity.

Formulated by the Ministry of Finance and other ministries, the Fifth Madani Budget addresses economic growth, employment, and social welfare, with a focus on enhancing quality of life and tackling issues such as wages and gig economy challenges.

The budget, themed "Reaching for the Skies, While Anchored on Our Values," underscores commitments to strengthen Malaysia's resilience and ensure future well-being for all citizens.

Anwar's announcement highlights the government's dedication to implementing these plans with the highest levels of trust and responsibility.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 10 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today stressed that Budget 2027 is a covenant between the country and its leadership and the people, which must be implemented with full trust and integrity.

The finance minister said the Fifth Madani Budget, formulated by a large team under the Ministry of Finance and other ministries, took into account the needs of various segments of society, ranging from driving economic growth to addressing issues concerning employment, wages and minimum income

“We want to remind all Malaysians from various walks of life that this budget is not merely about managing finances, but must be an agreement bound by a covenant.

“This means a promise, pledge or oath between the country, its leadership and the people. So, we listened to hundreds, and perhaps even more, views from various groups,” he said in the Special Madani Budget 2027 Interview aired by Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) tonight.

Anwar said the Madani government under his leadership had always considered all levels of society when formulating Budget 2027, themed “Reaching for the Skies, While Anchored on Our Values”, while seeking to uphold the dignity and well-being of the people.

The prime minister added that whatever plans implemented by the government under Budget 2027 would ultimately ensure a better quality of life for various segments of society in the future, while taking into account all the challenges faced by the people.

He said Budget 2027 not only focused on major matters such as driving high economic growth, but also extended to issues such as cat welfare, as well as the welfare of gig workers and minimum income.

“The economy may be thriving, but the people may still be burdened. So, this is what I call a philosophy, an approach that takes a more holistic view, and that is essentially what a budget is.

“We have heard about the problems faced by gig workers, e-hailing and p-hailing workers. These are things that did not exist 10 years ago. They are new issues,” he said.

Anwar also explained that Budget 2027 was the result of how the country was being managed well, with the highest leadership always upholding its trust and responsibility.

“This is a budget where the country upholds its trust, safeguards it as a trust, and treats it as a covenant. It is a promise that must be fulfilled in earnest,” he said.

Yesterday, Anwar tabled Budget 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat, allocating RM510 billion to uphold the dignity and well-being of the people at all levels.

Budget 2027 outlines eight key pillars, encompassing commitments ranging from improving the people’s quality of life to strengthening the country’s resilience and future.

When tabling the Supply (Budget) Bill 2027, Anwar summed up the commitment as the “National Covenant” — a pledge that the country’s progress would ultimately translate into a more dignified life for the people and strengthen Malaysia for future generations. — Bernama

首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣强调，2027 年财政预算案是政府与人民之间的“国家契约”，旨在诚信履行承诺。

由财政部和其他部委制定的第五份马达尼预算案着眼于经济增长、就业和社会福利，重点是提高生活质量，并解决工资和零工经济挑战等问题。

这份以“立足价值观，志存高远”为主题的预算案，强调了加强马来西亚韧性、确保全体公民未来福祉的承诺。

安华的声明凸显了政府致力于以最高的信任度和责任感来实施这些计划的决心。

布城，10月10日讯——首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣今日强调，2027年财政预算案是国家及其领导人与人民之间的一项契约，必须以充分的信任和诚信来执行。

财政部长表示，由财政部及其他部委组成的大型团队制定的第五份马达尼预算案，充分考虑了社会各阶层的需求，涵盖了从促进经济增长到解决就业、工资和最低收入等诸多方面。

“我们想提醒马来西亚各界人士，这份预算不仅仅是管理财政，更是一项受契约约束的协议。”

“这意味着国家、国家领导人和人民之间的一项承诺、誓言或誓约。因此，我们听取了来自各个团体的数百甚至更多意见，”他在今晚马来西亚广播电视台（RTM）播出的2027年马达尼特别预算采访中说道。

安瓦尔表示，在他领导下的马达尼政府在制定以“立足价值观，志存高远”为主题的2027年预算案时，始终考虑到社会各阶层的利益，同时努力维护人民的尊严和福祉。

总理补充说，政府在 2027 年预算案下实施的任何计划，最终都将确保未来社会各阶层的生活质量得到提高，同时考虑到人民面临的所有挑战。

他表示，2027 年预算案不仅关注推动经济高速增长等重大事项，还涵盖了猫福利、零工经济从业者福利和最低收入等问题。

“经济或许繁荣发展，但人民可能仍然背负重担。因此，我称之为一种理念，一种采取更全面视角的方法，而这正是预算的本质。”

他说：“我们听说了零工、网约车和私人出租车司机面临的问题。这些问题在十年前并不存在，它们是新出现的问题。”

安华还解释说，2027 年财政预算案是国家管理良好的成果，最高领导层始终恪守信任和责任。

他说：“这是一份国家恪守信任、守护信任、视之为契约的预算。这是一项必须认真履行的承诺。”

昨天，安华在下议院提交了2027年财政预算案，拨款5100亿令吉，以维护各级人民的尊严和福祉。

2027 年预算概述了八大支柱，涵盖了从改善人民生活质量到增强国家韧性和未来发展等一系列承诺。

安华在提交2027年财政预算案时，将这项承诺概括为“国家盟约”——即国家进步最终将转化为人民更有尊严的生活，并为子孙后代巩固马来西亚。——马新社
