The Dewan Rakyat has passed the Supply Bill 2027 at the policy stage by voice vote, following the conclusion of Finance Minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan's winding-up speech. The bill, which provides for RM459.8 billion in federal spending, will now proceed to the committee stage from next week until Nov 26, where MPs will debate the proposed allocations for each ministry.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim tabled the budget on Oct 9, with RM376.8 billion allocated for operating expenditure and RM83 billion for development expenditure. The government has signed a confidence and supply agreement with 13 opposition and independent MPs, who will support Budget 2027 and Anwar’s administration until the end of the current parliamentary term in exchange for constituency development funds.
