Budget 2025 not in line with Sabah's economic needs, says Insap

PETALING JAYA: Budget 2025, the largest at RM421bil, has been criticised for its lack of strategic foresight, particularly concerning Sabah.

According to the Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research (Insap), the budget offers infrastructure benefits, but it neglects sustainable growth for Small and Medium Industries (SMEs) and fails to capitalise on regional opportunities like Indonesia's new capital, Nusantara.
