The Budget 2026 proposal tabled yesterday lacks bold reforms needed to address deeper issues faced by the economy, according to Bachok MP Syahir Sulaiman.

He questioned whether the incentives tabled during the budget are a genuine attempt to improve the nation’s economic fundamentals or merely a pre-election budget designed to win public favour ahead of elections.

“The repeated use of the phrase ‘I am pleased to announce’ became a central theme, signalling that this is not merely a fiscal budget, but also a pre-election one, given the possibility of an early 16th general election next year,” he said in a statement last night.

Assistance programmes such as the Rahmah Necessities Aid (Sara) and Rahmah Cash Aid (STR) need to be institutionalised in the same way done in other welfare states, and not be used as political capital by the government, former economy minister Rafizi Ramli said.

Commenting on Budget 2026, Rafizi also characterised both programmes as a continuation of the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) welfare scheme, which was introduced during the premiership of Najib Abdul Razak.

He also mentioned whichever government is in power will maintain this welfare programme.

[KiniNews] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today tabled a slightly smaller RM419.2 billion Budget 2026, which included initiatives to ease living costs and strengthen the public sector.

Among the announcements made was a RM500 special aid for civil servants in Grade 56 and below, as well as RM250 for all government retirees.

Judges will see salary increases of up to 30 percent - their first in a decade.

The government is also proposing a slew of significant improvements to the medical sector, including an increase in the number of government medical officers and consultation fees for private clinics under Budget 2026.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari has challenged Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail to release a short video of interviews with the seven players in the national football team recently granted Malaysian citizenship to demonstrate their command of Bahasa Malaysia.

He said that if anyone wished to obtain Malaysian citizenship they must have sufficient knowledge of the national language.
