What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Bersama's shadow Budget 2027 argues that traditional fiscal policy is insufficient given global uncertainty and structural pressures in Malaysia. The proposed budget, presented by party co-leader Rafizi Ramli, suggests that Malaysia can build resilience by strengthening domestic capacity, diversifying growth sources, and undertaking structural reform. Rafizi criticized annual budgets for being reactive, functioning like a 'fire extinguisher' rather than a proactive strategy.
