AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express mixed reactions to Malaysia's 2015 Budget, with concerns over high highway construction costs, inflation, and the sustainability of infrastructure projects like the Pan Borneo Highway. Many criticize the allocation of funds, alleging implementation of corruption, favoritism towards cronies, and excessive toll expenses, implying that rakyat (people) bear the burden. There is skepticism about public transport improvements, and skepticism about promises to reduce car prices or GST exemptions for certain fuel types. Some comments reflect frustration over economic inequality and rising living costs, while a few remain hopeful for future development. Overall, sentiments range from critical and distrustful to hopeful, but many feel that government priorities favor the wealthy or are full of unfulfilled promises.
