All are welcome. Below is a short promotional write up on the event:

HOW THE GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING OUR MONEY?
by Research for Social Advancement (REFSA)

and

BUDGET STRATEGIES FOR ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION
by DAP Economic Bureau


Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak will be announcing the country's budget
for 2010 on Friday, 23 October 2009 in Parliament. This will also
represent his very first budget as the Prime Minister, and it comes at
a most critical time as the country seek to recover from one of the
worst global recessions in living memory. How will the Budget affect
the man-on-the-street? What is the outlook for the Malaysian economy?
Has the new Prime Minister done all the necessary to transform
Malaysia's economy?

The event will serve as a twin launch of the books listed above, one,
a “Dummies” guide to understanding our national budget, and the other,
an in-depth analysis of what should be done; which caters to readers
who are both new to finance and economics or those who are well-versed
in the subject.

In conjunction with the launch, a forum will be held to discuss the
Budget 2010:

Date : 26 October 2009 (Mon)
Time : 8pm
Venue : KL Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, Jalan Maharajalela

The Panelists for the forum will include:

* Dr Dzulkifli Ahmad, MP for Kuala Selangor
* William Leong, MP for Selayang

All are welcome and attendance is free. You will also be able to get
special discounted rates for the books at the launch, autographed by
