Budget has ignored PH’s MoU with govt, says Ramasamy

PETALING JAYA: The push for transformation and stability in the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the government and Pakatan Harapan is not reflected in the 2022 budget, says DAP’s P Ramasamy.

“It appears that the MOU is seen as benefiting the government more than the opposition.

“It has failed to respect and honour the support given by the opposition. It has not mitigated the pernicious effects of racial and religious extremism,” he said in a statement today.

The Penang deputy chief minister said he had hoped that with the establishment of various committees and a good working relationship between the government and the opposition, the budget should have reflected the spirit and substance of the MoU.

He said the government had instead taken it for granted without factoring in the element of reciprocity.
