Budget planning: Those in the M40 group too are struggling to make ends meet. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star
PETALING JAYA: The higher-income group or T20 has the money and the bottom 40 or B40 gets most of the government aid – now the middle-income group or M40, sandwiched between the other two, wants to see something for them in Budget 2024.
Having suffered “the middle child syndrome” for so long, they too are struggling to make ends meet amid rising prices and want to see programmes catering to them in the federal budget to be tabled in October.
