Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has unveiled Budget 2027 as a direct investment in Malaysians’ welfare, with billions of ringgit allocated towards healthcare, rural infrastructure, farmers, and vulnerable communities. The RM510 billion fifth MADANI Budget, presented in the Dewan Rakyat on Friday, aims to improve living standards and ensure no segment of society is left behind.

Key measures include a combined RM34.9 billion allocation for Sabah and Sarawak, dedicated funds for healthcare workers, persons with disabilities, and Orang Asli communities, and plans to make 9,000 contract doctors permanent.
