10 years, two national budgets, two different Prime Ministers, and a whole lot of changes in between.
Back in 2017, Malaysia was led by Datuk Seri Najib Razak under the Barisan Nasional (BN) government. Fast forward to Budget 2027, and the country is now led by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim under the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-led Unity Government.
From the cost of living and government assistance to taxes, salaries and housing, Malaysia's economic landscape has changed significantly over the past decade.
But just how different are these two national budgets? Let's put Budget 2017 and Budget 2027 side by side to see what's changed, what's improved, and what it all means for everyday Malaysians.
A decade can change a lot, but one thing remains the same: Malaysians still want to earn enough, spend comfortably and have a little extra left in their pockets.
While Budget 2027 may look very different from Budget 2017 on paper, the bigger question is whether these changes have actually made life better and more affordable for ordinary Malaysians.
So, looking back at the past 10 years, do you think Malaysians are better off today than they were in 2017?
