KUALA LUMPUR: DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng has proposed that the allocation for non-Bumiputera communities in next year’s budget be increased to 10% of the Bumiputera allocation. He suggested that if RM12 billion is allocated to Bumiputeras, RM1.2 billion should go to non-Bumiputeras. Lim pointed out that in the 2022 budget, non-Bumiputera communities received only 3%, or RM345 million, of the RM11.4 billion allocated to Bumiputeras. He had previously raised concerns about this disparity with former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, emphasizing the need for equal consideration for all communities.
