KUCHING, Oct 9: The increased allocations for Sarawak and Sabah under Budget 2027 are a positive step towards addressing the development needs of both regions, says Works Minister Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
He said the allocations should be viewed in the context of the government’s financial capacity and the increasingly challenging global economic environment.
“I consider the increase positive, especially given the substantial amounts announced.
“We have to understand the current economic situation, including wars and other global issues. Malaysia is not the only country affected, as other nations are also facing very challenging circumstances,” he told TVS after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim presented Budget 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat today.
