PETALING JAYA: The development allocation for Sabah and Sarawak under the 2024 budget is insufficient, says economist Firdausi Suffian and Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii.
Firdausi, a lecturer at Sabah UiTM, pointed out that the RM6.6 billion allocation for Sabah was less than the funds provided for certain programmes announced by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.“For Sabah, it’s only RM6.6 billion. Compare that with technical, vocational education and training which received an allocation of RM6.8 billion,” he told FMT.

“The improved and progressive fiscal policy introduced through the 2024 budget has the potential to enhance the state’s economy and attract foreign investments,” Hajiji said in a statement.
