Hmm.. #belanjawan2027 lets you pay for MediAsas (a govt-backed insurance rollout) from your EPF acc 2. Am unsure how to feel about this. Feels like it's going in one circle.

Kerajaan bersetuju memperkenalkan semula Klausa Perubahan Harga atau Variation of Price. #malaysiagazette #Belanjawan2027

Kerajaan turut menyediakan lebih RM770 juta bagi perolehan peralatan canggih dan moden untuk mempercepat proses diagnosis serta rawatan pesakit. #malaysiagazette #Belanjawan2027

Beri manfaat kepada lebih 300,000 orang. #malaysiagazette #Belanjawan2027

Prasarana dan Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) dipertanggungjawabkan mengambil tindakan segera bagi memastikan kelancaran operasi susulan gangguan perkhidmatan dan kerosakan tren yang menjejaskan perjalanan pengguna. #malaysiagazette #Belanjawan2027

Tanah bernilai RM1 bilion itu disediakan bagi memperkukuh ekonomi serta meningkatkan pemilikan aset dalam kalangan Bumiputera

Oh that allocation for disabled peeps is nice. Overall increases (I need to investigate what they mean by income threshold going up to RM2k) but they’re also increasing the allocation for special needs students AND teachers.

nais #belanjawan2027

"Sama juga Sukan Asia ke-20, kita menyamai pencapaian terbaik—pemenang pingat merangkumi pelbagai kaum, menunjukkan kita mencapai yang terbaik bila kita dapat meraih kekuatan dari setiap komuniti," kata Anwar. #malaysiagazette #Belanjawan2027

Those looking to buy their first homes, if you can, *WAIT* till Jan 1 2027 to sign. Govt’s providing FULL stamp duty exemption for both loan and instrument of transfers.

Which I think is a thing that most new prop devs offer, so it will be interesting to see how this affects sales #belanjawan2027

Note on last skeet: I mean in general, NOT just East Malaysia. Govt has a track record of not having enough jobs for such graduates (though I will be the first to admit I don’t know if that is still the case now). #belanjawan2027

More PSD (Public Service Department) scholarships for East Malaysians are always great to see, but the q is whether they are producing the workforce we need/govt needs. #belanjawan2027

Secara keseluruhan, sebanyak RM3.3 bilion diperuntuk bagi pembangunan prasarana asas desa termasuk pemasangan lampu jalan kampung, penyediaan kemudahan komuniti serta bekalan air bersih dan elektrik. #malaysiagazette #Belanjawan2027

A note about something I saw in MKini’s coverage - Living wage benchmark is now set by Govt and GLCs (at least) at RM3.4k instead of RM3.1k. That’s nice.

Asking private sector to follow will be interesting. #belanjawan2027

Interestingly, they wanna turn Penang into a Financial Hub. Actually makes sense if we’re moving away from manufacturing. I feel it’s overdue but I do not have the breadth of mind currently to make full sense of this move. #belanjawan2027

MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES IN JUNE 2027 TO 2K ABOUT. FUCKING. TIME.

In places like KL & Ipoh I think the minimum wage needs to be at least 3.5k plus but this is *something*.

Before MEF complains again, BONGKOK KAU JE KE BOLEH MAKAN KITA TAK BOLEH KE?

Ahem refreshing for the next #belanjawan2027

Notably, the relief includes:
- vaccines (YAY)
- Relief for elderly care, not just healthcare (I know a few peeps who’d be happy about that)
- PET ADOPTION FROM REGISTERED SHELTERS YES THANK YOU

I may not even have furkids but no, I completely do not mind this

#belanjawan2027

Income tax rate lowered by one point, meaning I shouldn’t need to pay as much? But also…

INCOME TAX RELIEF INCREASED FROM RM9K TO 12K YES PLEASE because I was maxing out so hard this year (and I’m not even touching the kids allocation yet!). #belanjawan2027

Right, because a quick glimpse earlier showed no signs of it… my thoughts on Malaysia’s planned budget for 2027, aka #Belanjawan2027 (late cause I noodled till I saw the text updates hahaha)
