More Money For Sarawak - Is It Enough?⁩

Budget 2021 allocated RM4.5 million to the state of Sarawak, which was followed closely by the state government’s tabling of RM9.8 million in additional state spending. But is that going to be enough for Sarawak’s recovery and infrastructure development? To help us answer this question, we reached out to Dr Dayang Affizzah Awang Marikan, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak.
