We are calling for a special parliamentary session to address this critical issue, ensuring that the budget accurately reflects the nation's economic realities and prepares us adequately for the challenges ahead.
It is imperative that the government provides the rakyat (people) with a transparent and realistic assessment of the country's economic standing. This review will allow for a clearer understanding of the government's preparedness and strategic direction in these increasingly volatile times. The well-being of our citizens and the stability of our nation depend on prudent financial planning and responsive governance.
