Prudent spread of goodies


Ready, set, go: Najib arriving at the Finance Ministry in Putrajaya for the final preparation of Budget 2016. With him are his deputies (from right) Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani and Datuk Chua Tee Yong and Second Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah.

KUALA LUMPUR: Budget 2016 is likely to have something for everyone, including the middle class, but expectations must be “realistic”.

One of the most challenging budgets to date for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, it is expected to spread the benefit across all segments of society and promote key sectors while at the same time be prudent in expenditure.
