PETALING JAYA: The government should focus on developing Sabah and Sarawak and include other initiatives to help the country recover and prosper in Budget 2022, says two think tanks

The Institute for Strategic Analysis and Policy Research and independent research institute Bait Al-Amanah made the proposal based on their findings during a Budget 2022 online stakeholders’ roundtable.

Both think tanks said that there is a need to boost investment in downstream activities of higher value-added industries towards greater economic opportunities and job creation in Sabah and Sarawak. The groups also called for civil service reform against complacency and mediocrity, adding that they are also advocating for an improvement in the public procurement system towards transparency and accountability.

Apart from that, both think tanks said that they support long-term reskilling training opportunities to help SMEs in their journey towards digital transformation. The two groups also touched on reprioritising food security through expanding investment in agricultural technology, and building a"comprehensive, continuous and responsive social protection system" to alleviate the vulnerable groups during this crisis, including the M40 families who have lost their sources of income.
