Dr M: Agriculture can play key role to help enrich rural folk in Sabah, Sarawak

KOTA KINABALU: Agriculture could play a key role for Sabah and Sarawak to help enrich the rural people.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said both states had large land banks that could be developed for agriculture purposes.

Dr Mahathir said this when asked about some disappointment among Sabah and Sarawak that no specific goodies for the two east Malaysian states were mentioned in his Malaysia Day speech in Kuching on Monday night. "Sabah and Sarawak are the richest states, we want to stress that both states have a lot of land and they must concentrate on agriculture," he said.

"That is what I was saying last night. I did not specifically say it, but Sabah and Sarawak have the land," he added.
