00:23I was hoping to see more incentive for domestic investors.
00:26I was hoping to see more efforts and more incentive, more policy being announced on
00:32how to grow the economy.
00:34That can be done better by liberalising the economy further, but I did not see that so
00:38much in today's speech.
00:41I think overall people were looking for something that can help them cover the rising cost of
00:46living.
00:47There were assistance here and there that was announced in the budget today, but as
00:53I said earlier, there's no real oomph that we can see in the speech.
