Negri Sembilan 2027 Budget to be tabled on Nov 27, says MB
SEREMBAN: The Negri Sembilan state government will convene the state legislative assembly on Nov 26, followed by the tabling of the state’s 2027 Budget on Nov 27, said Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim.
The Negri Sembilan state government will present its 2027 budget on November 27, announced its Chief Minister Datuk Ismail Lasim. The legislative assembly is set to convene on November 26, prior to the budget tabling. The scheduled sitting on October 16 has been postponed to the end of November due to a lack of time. The absence of state executive councillors will not hinder the budget preparation process, as the state government can make decisions independently.
Typically, the budget is presented to the executive councillors for approval, but this step is not obligatory. Ismail stated that the budget prepared by the departments can be directly submitted to the assembly. He emphasized that all 25 state assemblymen would be consulted regarding the budget this month, with their input considered in its development.
The postponement allows for the assembly's opening and budget presentation to occur simultaneously. The Chief Minister acknowledged the ongoing turmoil in the state, which has generated public controversy and questions. He assured that the budget remains the priority for the state and its people, and he will continue to fulfill his duties as Chief Minister to the best of his ability, ensuring the state administration functions normally and the people's interests are prioritized.
Despite the challenges, Ismail pledged to uphold his responsibility to safeguard the people's interests and Negri Sembilan's progress. He urged the people to remain confident and calm, emphasizing that the government will continue working, development will continue, and the people will be cared for.
