What do I gain from 2019 Budget?


Abstract

The most common question after the tabling of the 2019 Budget was: “What’s in it for me?”

First, we have to classify ourselves into one of the three income categories: B40, M40 or T20.

The Statistics Department said a B40 household earns up to RM3,000 a month, M40 up to RM6,275 a month and T20 at least RM13,148 a month.

We were told this budget would entail sacrifices. Sure enough, the T20 group and most of the M40 group have nothing much to shout about.
