Dr Mahathir Mohamad urged foreign investors to invest in Sabah and Sarawak as they had good governance.
He said the federal government and the leaders from both states are able to hold discussions to iron out the situation, despite being on the opposite side of the government. Dr Mahathir was asked by a dialogue participant to provide clarity on the federal government relationship with Sabah and Sarawak, especially on the issues over oil royalty hike demand, MA63 rights, establishment of Petroleum Sarawak Bhd of Petros, and Trans-Borneo Highway.
“The disparity between states has to be corrected. If we were to give more to Sabah and Sarawak, the disparity will be worse than the present. While we may have differences, we can sit down together and settle these differences,” he added.Mahathir said Malaysia will not build nuclear power plants until there is a safe way to dispose of the radioactive waste generated. Malaysia did not have adequate knowledge in that field.
