Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said the allocation was a 10.6 per cent increase compared to RM11.9 billion allocated last year, making up 24.1 per cent of the total allocation for development in Malaysia. He said the 2019 allocation would be used to implement 349 new projects and 1,696 connecting projects via various government ministries.
“This is due to a difference in economic activities between states. In this matter, Kelantan, Kedah, Perlis and Sabah which are dominated by the agricultural sector, registered the biggest gap in GDP per capita compared to national average of RM42,228 in 2017,” he said in reply to a question by Wong Ling Biu .
