Nearly RM200 million in federal funds for road maintenance in Sarawak – Nanta (6/2/24 BP)
It is RM200 million in total since last year. The budget for road maintenance in 2023 is RM2.7 billion and budget for the purpose in 2024 is RM2.8 billion.
So, the total fedral budget for road repair since last year is RM5.5 RM billion. 1 billion = 1000 million and the total budget in million is RM5,500 million.
Since last year, Sarawak only got RM200 million out of RM 5,500 million.
In %, it is only RM 200 X 100% divided by RM 5000 = 3.6%. I don’t think that Sabah is any better.
Thus, about 90% or more, the federal budget for road maintenance for 2023 and 2024 is allocated in Malaya (with the new name Peninsular Malaysia).
Our federal works minister, Alexander Nanta accepts this amount lamely without any protest. He fools us to believe that we are given so much RM200 million since 2023 without telling Sarawakians out of the total of RM5,500 million.
He even told us there is an increase in the allocation for road maintenance in Sarawak.
All in all, I think that we, Sarawakians must be in wide-awareness how our Sarawak federal YBs have cheated us all the time. Isn’t it the time to decolonise Sarawak for a change for good?
