JOHOR BARU: With Budget 2020 expected to be tabled in Parliament tomorrow by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, many locals are hopeful for some “goodies” to help ease their financial burdens.

As part of their wish list, they want the government to spend on key infrastructure programmes for the people including building the Rapid Transit System (RTS) between Malaysia and Singapore, more public libraries, walkways, bus stops, and petrol stations offering NGV gas.

There is also a request for the government to expand on its Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes to produce more skilled workers.
