Don’t ignore the T20 group’s role

THE recent Budget 2025 announcement has sparked concern among Malaysia’s T20 community, who feel that their contributions and challenges have been overlooked.

While the government’s focus on supporting the B40 (lower income earner) and M40 (middle income earner) groups is understandable, the lack of incentives for and potential penalisation of the T20 (top income earner) group in addressing the rising cost of living raises critical questions about fairness and inclusivity in national policy.
