The tabling of Budget 2023 will now be pushed three weeks earlier than initially scheduled, confirmed Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Parliament and Law) Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

The Budget 2023 will be presented in the Dewan Rakyat on Oct 7, he said.

He, however, denied any link between the change of date of the new sitting and the next general election, which is speculated to be held this year as Umno has been mounting pressure on Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob for a snap poll.
