Budget 2023 to be brought in songket bag

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is most likely to use a file bag with a Sarawak songket motif when he brings the Budget 2023 document for tabling at the Dewan Rakyat.

Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, flashed the black file bag when checking up on the final preparations for the budget at the Finance Ministry yesterday.

He arrived at the ministry at 3.30pm and was greeted by the two deputy finance ministers, Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan and Steven Sim, as well as Treasury deputy secretary-general (Policy), Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican.

The Prime Minister was then led to the Tax Operations Room and Budget 2023 Operations Room at Level 10 where he signed the related documents.

Anwar will table the revised Budget 2023 in Parliament at 4pm today. — Bernama
