Govt should explain 2026 Budget project implementation status — Takiyuddin
KUALA LUMPUR: The government should explain the implementation status of development projects under the 2026 Budget, as only 32.6 per cent have reached the post-implementation stage, said an Opposition member of parliament.
Opposition lawmaker Takiyuddin Hassan called for the government to provide a detailed update on the implementation status of development projects under the 2026 Budget, with only 32.6% of projects reaching the post-implementation stage. The breakdown is crucial to evaluate the government's efficiency in delivering funded projects, as more than 60% of projects remain in the pre-implementation or implementation stages.
The 2026 Budget allocated RM81 billion for development expenditure, which accounts for 17.2% of the total RM470 billion budget.
