More radical strategies needed for Sabah, S'wak under 12MP, says Tok Mat


SEREMBAN: There have to be more radical development strategies for Sabah and Sarawak under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) as the region has tremendous potential to become the country's new economic powerhouse, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan (pic).

The Umno deputy president said although the 12MP tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was in line with Malaysia's various development strategies, Sabah and Sarawak needed double investment and allocation as they had a wide geographical area.
