KOTA KINABALU: Three key major infrastructure development projects including the Pan Borneo Highway must be expedited to accelerate economic growth in Sabah and Sarawak.

Federation of Chinese Associations Sabah chairman Tan Sri TC Goh said that apart from the Pan Borneo Highway, the state government must step up the Sabah-Sarawak Road Link project and the needed developments to catch up with Indonesia's move to shift its capital to neighbouring Kalimantan.

"Overall, there is a 25% increase when compared with the amount of RM5.2bil allocated to Sabah in Budget 2022," he said in a statement to welcome the allocation for Sabah under Budget 2023 tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Friday . "Sabah and Sarawak should start making strategic plans around the borders, in order to better benefit from the ‘ripple effect’ of the mega plan, eventually,” he said.

Goh said that Anwar's announcement to create Malaysia as a regional hub for ship building and ship repair activities through tax incentives was a welcomed development.
