Navaratnam: Spread out projects under budget revision


KUALA LUMPUR: A revision of Budget 2016 should also include spreading out projects under the development expenditure with high import content, says Centre for Public Policy Studies chairman, Tan Sri Ramon Navaratnam.

He said the alternative would be to have deep cuts in the operating expenditure, which would mean cutting jobs in the civil service. Ramon, also a former senior civil servant, said such job cuts would be a difficult move to make.
