Asyraf Wajdi hopes 2027 Budget allocations reach intended Mara recipients
KUALA LUMPUR: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) must ensure allocations approved under the 2027 Budget reach their intended recipients, particularly students receiving educational assistance, its chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said.
Mara's chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki has expressed hope that the 2027 Budget allocations will be directed towards their intended recipients, particularly the students who rely on educational assistance. In previous Budgets, allocations have sometimes failed to reach their intended recipients during implementation, causing disappointment.
Mara's budget allocation is primarily focused on education, covering 70% of its funds, with support for Malay and Bumiputera students. The 2027 Budget will see Mara train and place 1,000 Bumiputera youths in high-growth sectors, as well as help repair wiring in 20,000 homes for low-income families.
