Keningau MP Jeffrey Kitingan urged the government to allocate at least 25% of the national development budget to Sabah and Sarawak.

Keningau MP Jeffrey Kitingan, who is also Sabah deputy chief minister, said the federal government should reimburse Sabah for tax revenue raised in the state.

Kitingan, who is also deputy chief minister of Sabah, said the 2004 budget allocated only 13.76% of development funds to Sabah and Sarawak, with the remaining 86.24% for Peninsular Malaysia. Speaking during the debate on the supply bill in the Dewan Rakyat, Kitingan said the constant neglect of East Malaysian states by the federal government had triggered anger among Sabahans and increased their determination to “run away” from Malaysia.
