The Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BNBBC) hopes that the 2015 Budget scheduled to be tabled next month will ensure that the leakage of public funds will be reduced, while the efficiency of public spending be enhanced.

Its chairman, Tan Sri Shahrir Abdul Samad, said these were among the BNBBC's hopes and views conveyed to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak during their dialogue here on Sunday.

He said the BNBBC, as the ones representing the people at the grassroots and who have always looked at matters concerning monitoring activities and implementation of government projects, hoped that they would be able to continue voicing out the people's problems, so that they could be taken into account by the government in tabling the budget.

"We want focus to be given to certain groups...issues of well-being, low-income, persons with disabilities. These are issues that we (BNBBC) are facing, all the time, in our constituencies.

"We are sharing our experiences with the prime minister to ensure a more effective delivery system," he told reporters after attending the BNBBC Retreat Programme and a Budget Dialogue With Prime Minister here.

Shahrir said the BNBBC had also voiced out its opinion on the importance for community projects to be implemented in certain areas as expected by the people.

"Some of these projects were abandoned, some were implemented and some were delayed...if we (BNBBC) don't voice this out, the only opinion made available to the government will be from the administration's side.

"As Members of Parliament, we can see the effects. We need more specified programmes for specified groups in our society that will bring about good impact to the government policies," he said.

He said during the dialogue, the prime minister had also given a positive response to the suggestions made by the BNBBC.

Shahrir said although BNBBC had always supported the government in many of its programmes, there was still plenty of room for improvement in terms of the implementation.

"In the distribution of BR1M (1Malaysia People's Aid), for example, we all agreed that it is an added value to the general system of subsidy. However, we would like it to be continued and further improved. Not only once a year, but may be once in every three months," he said.
