PETALING JAYA: A proposed Trans-Borneo Railway linking Sabah and Sarawak with Indonesia might look good on paper but the focus should be on roads and schools for East Malaysia, according to an economist.
Firdausi Suffian of Sabah UiTM said the proposed railway would improve the productivity of both states. As it would require a lot of people, employment opportunities would be created. “But who is going to finance this?”“We have to focus first on roads, such as the Pan Borneo Highway. Also, addressing dilapidated schools is a priority,” he told FMT. In January, the education ministry said there were more than 300 dilapidated schools across the country, including Sabah and Sarawak.
