Seorang pakar ekonomi yang juga ahli parlimen PAS menganggap belanjawan yang dibentangkan Anwar Ibrahim di Dewan Rakyat kelmarin sebagai “tempang” di sebalik pelbagai inisiatf dan pengumuman dibuat, Malaysiakini melaporkan semalam. Menurut Ahli Parlimen Bachok, Encik Syahir Sulaiman, dia melihat Belanjawan 2026 itu dibentangkan dalam suasana politik dan ekonomi yang mencabar. Ungkapan “sukacita diumumkan” disebut menteri kewangan merangkap perdana menteri kelmarin, katanya, juga menghantar isyarat bahawa perancangan ekonomi kerajaan itu tidak sekadar belanjawan fiskan sebaliknya belanjawan pra-pilihan raya. Syahir yang dianggap antara pakar ekonomi dalam PAS beranggapan, ada kemungkinan PRU ke-16 diadakan lebih awal pada tahun hadapan. “Walaupun kerajaan menekankan keseimbangan antara pertumbuhan dan kebajikan rakyat, trajektori pertumbuhan sederhana ini menunjukkan ruang fiskal yang terhad untuk merangsang ekonomi secara lebih menyeluruh,” katanya dalam kenyataan kelmarin, Jumaat 10 ...

The teacher slapped one of the students hard and said, “Why didn’t you write the essay?” The student calmly replied, “Teacher! I wasn’t convinced by what I read to write about it.” The teacher asked, “Why weren’t you convinced?” The student responded, “Because I couldn’t find the truth in what was written.” The teacher questioned, “How so?” The student answered: “Teacher, the essay says: ‘My country is a rich country.’ But our house is made of mud, my clothes, my school bag, and all my school supplieseven my books—come from charity.

Referring to news report by Sabah-based Daily Express today, FMT said Sabah DAP’s former chairman Encik Frankie Poon and ex-secretary Puan Liau Fui Fui have left the party, expressing dissatisfaction with the state chapter’s current leadership. The pair claimed that Sabah DAP, currently helmed by Encik Phoong Jin Zhe, now favoured younger members and sidelined veterans despite their contributions to the party’s growth in the state over the years. They also said there were efforts to replace existing DAP leaders in Tanjong Papat without the consultation of veterans, based on months of “observation and reflection” on developments within the party.  Poon and Liau said they were reluctant to leave DAP but felt compelled to do so as honesty and mutual respect were no longer in the state chapter. The pair claimed that members of two DAP branches were following them in leaving the party. Poon is the outgoing assemblyman for Tanjong Papat, which he has represented for two terms now, and ...

Mengulas Belanjawan 2026 yang dibentangkan di parlimen semalam, Malaysiakini melaporkan bekas menteri ekonomi, Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli sebagai berpendapat bantuan kerajaan Madani masih dilihat sebagai kesinambungan Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) yang diperkenalkan kerajaan BN pimpinan Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak.

"Ini tak boleh jadi modal politik dah, ia sama – setiap kerajaan akan mempertahankannya (program kebajikan). “Isunya ialah kerajaan mana yang berjaya menambah baik (inisiat...
