Over the past few months, the Pakatan Harapan government has been making statements to manage the expectations of the electorate ahead of Budget 2019. Many statements have been made about the financial constraints and high debt inherited from the Barisan Nasional administration, and that the rakyat must be prepared for some “painful” changes ahead, including the likelihood of new taxes.
What are your views on how the government is attempting to manage expectations ahead of Budget 2019, and how do you expect Pakatan Harapan to handle its very first Budget?
