PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad has ticked off state governments which made election promises to the people but are unable to deliver them because they did not have sufficient funds. 

“I have reminded them not to make any promises. Some think the Federal Government has a lot of money, so (they) just ask for it,” said the Prime Minister after a 2004 Budget dialogue session with Chief Ministers, Mentris Besar and Government Backbenchers at the Finance Ministry yesterday.
