“It is clear, the reason to dissolve the Parliament was not benefitting the public, but to their own benefit, pocket and power,” he said.

Syed Saddiq added the massive budget in the nation’s history amounted to RM372.2 billion was just tabled on Friday but the real intention of the budget being presented was still a question.

“Are the efforts behind the preparation of this budget, which took months to complete, a pointless thing, and only wants to trouble the people?” he said.
