Malaysiakini's report:
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim today called upon Finance Minister Najib Abdul Razak to table a new budget following the ongoing global financial crisis.
The PKR leader said members of parliament cannot debate an "outdated budget" which was presented more than a month ago.
The budget was presented on Aug 29 by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who was also the finance minister then.
He had then subsequently given the finance portfolio to Najib, who is also the deputy prime minister.
Last week, Abdullah also said that he would be stepping down next March to allow Najib to take over.
Anwar's budget speech today was his first as an opposition leader. He was also a former finance minister before his sacking from the government in 1998 - malaysiakini.com
