Barisan Alternatif presented its 'alternative' budget for 2004 late yesterday and described it as the opposition front's "commitment to enhance the people's living standards".

The budget - unveiled two days before the government's budget - was presented at the Parliament seminar hall by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (Keadilan) president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
