Council of Professors fellow Jeniri Amir said it was a good sign that the allocations had been increased to help the two states narrow the development gap with West Malaysia. Jeniri said the allocations would help Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to ensure continued support from Gabungan Rakyat Sabah and Gabungan Parti Sarawak, the ruling coalitions in the two states.
Anwar said yesterday that the total allocation of RM12 billion included rural development plans for areas such as Kalabakan in Sabah and Ba Kelalan in Sarawak which border Indonesia’s new capital in Kalimantan. There was also an allocation of RM209 million to subsidise rural air transport.Another analyst, Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya, said the allocations for both states were satisfactory as they would be bolstered by additional funds from other ministries.
