Budget 2024 was unveiled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last week, on Oct 13, 2023. It broke its own record, with an allocation of RM393.8 billion. Has it lived up to expectations and go far enough to address both short and long-term issues? We first speak to Farah Rosley, on some of the budget's major takeaways. Then, we enter the political side of things: did it err on the safe side?
