2021-11-01 333

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has demanded the government explain several "off-budget" expenditures while debating Budget 2022 in the Dewan Rakyat today.

He named several projects, including the nationwide 5G rollout, the possible revival of the High-Speed Rail (HSR) project and attempts to privatise the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Selangor.

Citing 1MDB which incurred RM32.3 billion in debts to the government, he said the public may be forced to foot the bill for these projects.
