“The state government can propose on the list, but does not have the final say on which dilapidated schools to be fixed first,” he told reporters. Annuar also said it is wrong to say that negotiations between the state and federal governments had reached a deadlock over funds to fix dilapidated schools as well as build new ones.
“We are not sure if the money will be allocated in one lump sum or be divided into parts and over many years,” he said. He said Education Minister Dr Mazslee Malek in February had agreed to Sarawak’s proposal, but the federal government decided against it last month.“It should not be part of the federal government’s allocation to us,” he said.
