#MOF programme not part of GE14 agenda
IPOH, May 6 (Bernama)-- The Finance Ministry programme-#MOF Bersama Rakyat' is a programme aimed at lightening the burden of the people and should not be construed as part of the 14th general election (GE14) agenda.
Treasury secretary-general, Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah said the programme had been conducted throughout the country since early this year to ensure government agencies gave the best service to the people.
He said among others, the programme was a channel for government to collect input from the people as preparations for Budget 2019 which would be tabled in Parliament in October.
"The programme was also a platform for us to interact with villagers to get to know their problems as the framework for the coming budget.
"This is why we are going to the ground to discuss and interact with the people so that we know their problems," he told a media conference after opening the #MOF Bersama Rakyat in Kampung Tengku Hussein, Manjoi, here today.
