PETALING JAYA: Every year from around the start of October, the media carries stories on the annual tabling of the Federal Government’s budget to inform and get a feel for what the ground needs.

Many people struggle to make sense of the reams of information from the news reports and expert opinions, especially on the economy, that come out over the weeks prior to the tabling of the budget, usually on the last Friday of October.
