Budget 2024: Allocation increase shows Federal Govt's will to bridge development gap in Sabah, Sarawak

The Sabah Chief Minister said the RM6.6bil allocation for Sabah, which is RM100mil more than last year, was also part of Putrajaya's efforts to fulfill the implementation of the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
