SETINGGI-tinggi penghargaan kepada 111 Ahli Parlimen PN, BN, GPS dan PBS yang telah menyokong Belanjawan 2021 di setiap peringkat dan sepanjang perjalanannya di Dewan Rakyat. Kelulusan Belanjawan 2021 adalah kemenangan bukan sahaja bagi Kerajaan Perikatan Nasional, tetapi lebih-lebih lagi bagi rakyat, perniagaan dan ekonomi negara, terutamanya dengan wabak COVID-19 yang masih di sekeliling kita.

Tidak dilupakan juga, sumbangan warga Kementerian Kewangan, agensi-agensi MOF dan juga agensi-agensi kerajaan lain, yang telah memberi komitmen sepenuhnya, tanpa mengenal penat lelah, serta mengambil kira lebih 6,600 cadangan merentasi kesemua negeri di Malaysia, bagi merangka Belanjawan 2021 yang komprehensif. Ini di samping kesemua usaha menyediakan dan melaksanakan tidak kurang daripada 4 pakej rangsangan ekonomi sejak bulan Mac, demi rakyat, perniagaan dan ekonomi negara tercinta. Sememangnya tahun 2020 bukanlah tahun yang biasa, dan anda semua sememangnya luar biasa.

Terima kasih juga diucapkan kepada YAB Perdana Menteri atas sokongan dan keyakinan beliau yang tidak berbelah bahagi, kepada saya dan juga warga Kementerian Kewangan dalam memikul amanah merangka, membentang, menambah baik serta mempertahan Belanjawan 2021. Terima kasih kerana sentiasa mendengar pandangan dan cadangan kami serta memberi nasihat dan panduan secara berterusan.

Saya, Timbalan-timbalan Menteri Kewangan I dan 2, serta warga Kementerian bersedia untuk mengambil langkah seterusnya dalam perjalanan ini iaitu: Melaksanakan Belanjawan 2021 dengan cepat dan tepat, serta penuh dedikasi dan amanah.

Saya mendoakan agar Belanjawan 2021 akan meneruskan momentum pemulihan ekonomi negara dan mencapai matlamat yang dihasratkan. Moga kesemua rakyat dapat dibantu, perniagaan dapat diperkasa, dan ekonomi dapat diperkukuh. Moga wabak COVID-19 dijauhkan, dan kesihatan didekati. Walau apa-apa pun cabaran yang mungkin berbangkit (dan sememangnya akan ada kekangan, ujian serta halangan), namun didoakan kita semua dikurniakan kecekalan, ketahanan dan kesabaran. Moga niat ikhlas kita diberkati, usaha dan amanah kita dirahmati.

A heartfelt thank you to all 111 Parliamentarians from PN, BN, GPN and PBS who supported the Budget 2021 at each level and along its journey in the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives). The passing of Budget 2021 is a victory not just for the PN Government, but more importantly that of the rakyat, businesses and the nation’s economy, especially in facing the lingering COVID-19 threat.

Not forgetting, the contribution of my MOF colleagues, as well as colleagues from MOF agencies and other Government entities, who have risen beyond the call of duty and overcome fatigue, in considering over 6,600 proposals from all across the country, to formulate a comprehensive Budget. This is besides the 4 economic stimulus packages announced since March which you have duly prepared and implemented for the sake of the people, businesses and economy. 2020 has been a year unlike no other, and all of you have been extraordinary.

I would also like to convey our gratitude to YAB Prime Minister for his unwavering support and confidence in me and MOF as a whole in formulating, tabling, improving and defending Budget 2021. Thank you for always hearing out our views and suggestions as well as giving us continuous advice and guidance.

My deputies, MOF colleagues and I, are prepared for the next stage of the Budget 2021 journey, namely, to ensure swift and effective execution of the initiatives, plans and programmes under it.

I pray that Budget 2021 will continue the nation’s economic recovery trajectory and achieve the goals envisioned. May all rakyat receive the support needed, businesses be empowered, and the economy strengthened. May we be safe from COVID-19 and blessed with good health. And regardless of the challenges that may arise (and we are braced for such challenges, tests, and obstacles ahead), I pray that we are granted with tenacity, resilience and patience. May our good intentions and efforts be blessed.

YB SENATOR DATUK SRI TENGKU ZAFRUL TENGKU ABDUL AZIZ ialah Menteri Kewangan Malaysia.
