Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today held a Budget 2025 engagement with electrical and electronics (E&E) industry players at the SilTerra Malaysia plant to get feedback from the industry and stakeholders.

The feedback received in the closed dialogue is expected to cover policies, incentives, programmes, as well as implementation and challenges before they are brought back to be studied at the Finance Ministry for adoption in the Madani Budget 2025.

Over 70 E&E industry players from 52 companies based in Kedah, Penang, and Perak attended the engagement session with Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz and Kedah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.

Previously, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, had instructed all ministers to hold a Madani Budget 2025 dialogue session with their respective ministries and all stakeholders in the sectors involved.

Budget 2025, which is the third budget under the Unity Government, will be presented on October 18 in Dewan Rakyat.

Earlier, the Prime Minister insisted that Budget 2025 will continue to focus on benchmarking aspects targeted within the framework of the Madani Economy including enabling Malaysia to become a major economy in Southeast Asia.
