Awang Azman Awang Pawi says it is 'unethical' to announce development projects prior to elections.

KUCHING: A political analyst has slammed Putrajaya’s approval of 49 development projects worth RM2.28 billion in Sandakan, describing it as a “bait” for the by-election on May 11.

He said Putrajaya should not be announcing development projects prior to elections as it only reflected its insincerity. Last week, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said the federal government had approved 49 development projects in Sandakan which would benefit close to 400,000 people. He said the government was paying special attention to development in Sandakan as it was the second largest town in Sabah.
