Jasa allocation cut proof of sincerity in budget negotiations - Zafrul

The proposed allocation reduction for the Special Affairs Department (Jasa) is proof of the government's sincerity in budget negotiations, said Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz.

"There's only one (budget cut) that has been requested by both sides, actually. So (on Thursday) I raised the motion to cut from Jasa's side to show our sincerity," he said in an interview with The Edge.
