Beyond the Ballot Box

How Should Budget 2025 Address the Needs of the Marhaen


Listen Later

With the rising cost of living, unaffordable housing, rising inequality and stagnating wages, Malaysians face mounting challenges. This is especially true if you’re working class, even if you’re middle class. 

Since the tabling of Budget 2025 is just around the corner, on today’s episode, we take a look at what needs to be addressed in the upcoming budget to bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots. 

We speak to three labour rights activists, Adrian Pereira of North South Initiative, J. Solomon of National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) and Alex Ong of Migrant Care.

This BFM Budget 2025 Special is brought to you by Mah Sing. Reinvent Spaces. Enhance Life.
