How we made this page

Three software agents read the budget announcement from Bernama, RTM, MoF, Utusan, MStar, The Star, FMT, NST and Malay Mail on 9-10 October. They extracted every number with its source. We clustered the points into seven cards and rewrote them in plain words, following one rule: a skimmer gets the who-what-where in three seconds. The numbers are real and named. The summaries are ours. The critics' voices are included.
