Dewan Rakyat Passes Budget 2026 Allocations For Three Ministries
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 (Bernama) -- The Dewan Rakyat today passed the allocations for the Supply Bill 2026 at the committee level for the Ministry of National Unity, the Ministry of Economy, and the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities through a voice vote, after witnessing more voice in support than against.
The Ministry of Economy received an allocation of RM2.75 billion for next year, reflecting the government’s continued commitment to driving the national development agenda, especially as 2026 marks the first year of implementation for the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP).
Finance Minister II who is also acting Economy Minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said that according to the 2026 Budget Book, the development allocation for the Ministry of Economy amounts to RM2.115 billion.
“This figure represents an increase of RM890.56 million (72.7 per cent) for 2026 compared to the revised allocation in 2025,” he told the Dewan Rakyat during today’s committee-level debate and winding-up session for Budget 2026.
“This is because several projects have already been completed and will no longer exist in 2026,” he added.
The Dewan Rakyat also approved a projected operating and development expenditure of RM767.99 million for the Ministry of National Unity.
Under Budget 2026, themed Fourth MADANI Budget: The People’s Budget, the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities (KPK) has been allocated RM810.09 million.
Of this amount, RM477.82 million (59 per cent) is for operating expenses, while the remaining RM332.27 million (41 per cent) is for development expenditure.
Earlier, the committee-level debate session involving the three ministries featured speakers from the government, opposition, and independent blocs before the winding-up session by the respective ministers.
The Dewan Rakyat sitting will resume tomorrow.
