The Bagan Datuk MP said Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz had done a good job in presenting next year’s budget, but offered suggestions for improvement. “But the finance minister had carried out engagements with government and opposition MPs. This commendable attitude shown by him should be acknowledged by us all, this is an openness that we welcome,” Zahid said while debating the Budget in the Dewan Rakyat.
As Zahid was speaking, Pontian MP Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan cut in, asking if the former agreed his suggestion for the finance minister to use ministerial statements to correct matters in the Budget 2021 speech or make improvements where possible, especially by incorporating suggestions raised by MPs during the debates.
