What to expect from Budget 2015

Budget 2015 will continue to be friendly to businesses and investors, without forgetting the rakyat, according to Manokaran.

IN the run-up to the Budget 2015 announcement next month, expectations are rising that the Government would introduce mitigating measures to alleviate the rising cost of living faced by the people and provide new incentives to companies amid the impending implementation of the goods and services tax (GST).

Thousands of wish lists had already been submitted to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak during the two-week campaign last month to gather feedback. The question once again is how will the Government balance the need to reform the country’s economy and meeting the expectations of the people.
