Perak’s 2026 budget will be tabled on Nov 25, focusing on the Perak Sejahtera 2030 Plan with allocated debate time for all assemblymen.
IPOH: Perak will table its 2026 Budget during the State Assembly sitting scheduled from November 25 to December 2.
State Assembly Speaker Datuk Seri Mohammad Zahir Abdul Khalid said the budget would focus on the Perak Sejahtera 2030 Plan, which emphasises the well-being of the state and its people.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad will present the budget, allowing all state assemblymen to participate in the debate session.
Government backbenchers and the opposition leader will each receive 45 minutes for debate, while other assemblymen will be allocated 20 minutes each.
The debate session is scheduled to begin on the second day of the sitting, November 26.
Three motions will be tabled to appoint members of the Select Committees, including the Standing Orders Committee, the Privileges and Freedom Committee, and the Members’ Welfare Committee.
Gunung Semanggol assemblyman Razman Zakaria will remain as Opposition Leader after his six-month suspension ended in October.
Mohammad Zahir said Razman’s suspension should serve as a lesson to all assemblymen to maintain decorum and discipline during sittings.
“The purpose of being in the assembly is to carry out administrative matters, pass laws, and debate policies in a courteous manner,” he said.
“Although members of the assembly have immunity, it does not mean they are free from action if they go beyond limits.”
Razman was previously suspended after being found to have made a false statement regarding the hoisting of China’s national flag at Menara Teluk Intan during the International Guan Gong Cultural Festival in October last year. – Bernama
