“Politics aside, we have to build schools in the rural areas even though we have to pay in advance the loan using our money but it must be used for Sarawak. Don’t send it to Kelantan, don’t send to Melaka, Pahang. Must be for Sarawak,” he said. Abang Johari said that the issue of repayment of debt and allocation to repair dilapidated schools had also been agreed upon between the state and the federal governments.
He said that the federal government had in principle agreed to accept a part of the repayment on the Sarawak government of RM1 billion to be allocated for the repair of dilapidated school, which was subjected to the stipulated legal mechanism.
