Abstract: Malaysia citizen always looks forward to the budget announcement, which is presented by the government each year. Due to the direct effect on the economy, the citizens' opinions are crucial in understanding what they want and whether the budget satisfies them or not. Social media analytics can gather netizens’ opinions on Twitter and conduct sentiment analysis. Most of the corpora in previous sentiment analysis research use English-based corpus. However, the current scenario of tweets in Malaysia uses a combination of English-Malay words. Therefore, this study uses a hybrid of the corpus-based and support vector machine approach. Semantic corpus-based combines the Malay and English words. Then, the domain-specific corpus on Malaysia Budget is constructed, which is budget corpus. Two separate analyses include category classification and sentiment analysis. Overall, most netizens have a positive sentiment about Malaysia's Budget with 56.28% of the tweets being positive sentiments. The majority of the netizens focus on social welfare and education that have the highest tweets. The discussion highlights the suggestion to improve the accuracy of this study.

Keywords: Malaysia budget; twitter; social media analytics; sentiment analysis; category classification; budget corpus
