Man. It is just May and the Second Finance Minister Nor Mohamed Yakcob has already mentioned the “b” word.
KUALA LUMPUR: Budget 2008 will hand out more benefits to wage earners, Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop said.
He said the Government would ensure that the prices of common consumer items would be affordable and not burden the lower-income segment of society. [Budget 2008 benefits to help lower-income group. The Star. May 16 2007]
This talk of a people’s budget so soon publically is weird. For goodness’ sake, we have not even past the second quarter yet. Talk about forward planning!
Maybe it is a sign that election is coming?
