PETALING JAYA: Malaysians can expect Budget 2004 to build on the success of Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir’s impressive 22 years of economic track record while providing a bag of goodies for the rakyat as the Prime Minister’s farewell gift.  

Abolition and lowering of road tax for non-luxury motor-cycles is a likely measure under the Government’s continuing social programme that may also see more amenities being introduced for the socially handicapped.
