Sabah and S'wak deserve more from Budget 2020, says Jeffrey Kitingan


KOTA KINABALU: Budget 2020 for Sabah and Sarawak does not reflect the Federal Government's Shared Prosperity 2030 vision, due to the imbalanced and Malaya-centric allocation, says state opposition leader Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan (pic).

The Sabah STAR president said giving credit where it's due, he welcomed the RM5.2bil allocated for Sabah and RM4.4bil for Sarawak's development, but the amount is just 17.1% of the total budget.
