tzafrul_aziz ,NajibRazak ,TSVigneswaranSA ,DatukSaravanan,anwaribrahim Can you explain to the rakyat why PMO budget is $1 billion? Base on what have you tabled this budget for $1 billion. What is the purpose for this amount of $1 billion?

The lack of transparency of this budget is worrying, no mention source of revenue to fund this budget as well.
