What is budget ‘recalibration’ if not Najib obfuscation?

What is budget ‘recalibration’ if not Najib obfuscation?

What exactly is budget ‘recalibration’, a word the Najib government has been bandying all over town recently? Is there such a thing?

Firstly, you recalibrate something after it has been calibrated earlier. But no one ‘calibrates’ a budget. So if Najib’s budget had not been calibrated in the first place, then how can he ‘recalibrate’ it now? That is sheer nonsense.

The Malaysian dilemma?

The Malaysian dilemma?

We have an extremely odd relationship between ourselves, our race and the race of others. While walking down Bridge Street in Manchester with a senior friend of mine who was a practicing lawyer in Chesire, we spoke about similar things. The matter of race, language and religion is something of similarity between current problems in Malaysia and those in England.

Budget review is timely

Budget review is timely

It is good that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is re-calibrating the 2016 Budget in view of the changing and challenging local and international situation especially the plummeting oil revenues and the low prices for various commodities like palm oil and rubber, which contribute much for the national economy.
