Budget Day ( Hari Belanjawan) is the day that our government presents its Budget to Dewan Rakyat for approval, typically in a ceremonial fashion. It probably only exists in Malaysia where a budget is a done deal. The cabinet has already given its approval, so who cares about what members of parliament or the general public has to say about it.
For stakeholders in the tourism industry, we are keen to know how more more allocation is given to the tourism ministry and for what. As this is an election year, we can expect some giveaways to boost tourism growth. We know that in the past a lot of money has gone to programmes that has no impact on tourism. Some does not even have tourism value
In all seriousness, we should be looking at it with enthusiasm because there will be many changes at the supervising agencies for tourism. We know that there will be a change of Minister after the election and hopefully the agencies under it will also be headed by people whose interest are only in tourism and not just worry about their career path. We are talking here about all level of management in government departments that handle tourism affairs not only in Putrajaya but also in the state and districts.
So lets brace ourselves for some good news.
