From Ramesh Chander, Murray Hunter and Lim Teck Ghee
Mainly status quo, part recovery, and part election oriented – various excuses can be made for the 2023 budget unveiled by the new government kicking the can of fiscal and institutional reform further down the road.
In his budget presentation, Prime Minister cum finance minister Anwar Ibrahim asked: “The question is whether there is political will to effect change?”
This was in reference to what he diagnosed as the challenges facing the nation: high debt level, low quality of administration, global uncertainties, slow investment recovery and the rakyat’s economic woes.

PAS has snubbed the unity government as the outcome of the survey of “100 Days of Administration of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister” found that “the rejection of the Malays of the current government is becoming increasingly evident”.
Of the more than 35,000 respondents who participated in the poll, 71% of the Peninsular Malay community stated that they were dissatisfied with the government’s efforts to fulfill its 15th General Election (GE15) manifesto.
Another 60% of the respondents felts that current state of the country as weak with 51% reckoning that the country’s economy has worsened while 43% agreed that the country’s current direction is wrong.

JOHOR BARU – Malaysian Bar president Karen Cheah found it strange that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) report to Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat on its investigations into a former high court judge concerned breaches of judicial ethics, which are outside the enforcement authority’s purview.
Speaking to The Vibes, Cheah referred to news reports stating that Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reforms) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said received a letter from the MACC which said that authorities had forwarded investigation details involving Court of Appeal judge Datuk Mohd Nazlan Ghazali to the chief justice.
“It has been reported that the report forwarded to the chief justice is in respect to their probe over breaches of the Judicial Code of Ethics (JECA).
“Firstly, why is the report from the MACC to the chief justice regarding JECA? The powers of the MACC pertain to corruption.
“The code of ethics is within the purview of the Judicial Ethics Committee,” Cheah told The Vibes when contacted on the matter.
Such a move, she explained, could result in the anti-corruption agency exceeding its statutory powers.
