MELAKA Aug 15 (Bernama) -- The increase in federal funding to Sabah will enable more development projects to be implemented for the benefit of the people in the state, said United Sabah National Organisation (USNO) president Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia.
He said the rapid development would not only benefit the state, but also contribute to Malaysia’s overall progress.
“Personally, I believe that at this point, we still need (Prime Minister Datuk Seri) Anwar Ibrahim in both international and domestic politics,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the 2026 PKR National Congress at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh here today.
In his presidential policy speech at the congress, PKR president Anwar said federal allocations to Sabah had risen by 35 per cent, from RM13 billion in 2022 to RM17.6 billion in 2026.
The Prime Minister also rejected claims that the MADANI Government was neglecting certain states, stressing that allocations to each state varied according to priorities and had increased under his administration.
