DESPITE the “Malaysian Family” slogan expounded by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to prioritise Malaysian values, unity and well-being, Budget 2022 clearly shows a stark disparity in allocations between the bumiputra and non-bumiputra groups, especially the Indian community.
An analysis of Budget 2022’s allocation for communities shows that RM11.4bil (more than 97%) has been set aside for bumiputras while RM345mil (less than 3%) has been allocated for the non-bumiputra.
