Ahead of the tabling of Budget 2022, Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reiterated Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) rejection of “off-budget” projects or expenditure that lack transparency.

To illustrate his point, the Port Dickson MP cited several projects, such as the nationwide 5G rollout and attempts to privatise the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang.

He expressed his concern that the process and justification for the cost for these projects were not explicitly made known to the public.
