KUALA LUMPUR, November 25 – Approval on emoluments for civil servants would be the first issue to be discussed at the Parliament session – the first under the government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim before Budget 2023 is tabled again. Of course we have to clear the emoluments (for civil servants) first on Dec 19 so that our public servants don’t need to worry. The session on Dec 19 will be the first for the 15th Parliament session.
And then give us another month or so, then we will table a new budget or a revised budget,” Anwar said during his first press conference as the Prime Minister yesterday. Anwar, 75, took the oath of office as the 10th Prime Minister before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah at Istana Negara yesterday. Budget 2023 was tabled on Oct 7 by the then finance minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz with a total allocation of RM372.3 billion.
