KUCHING, Feb 25 — Sarawak should have been given a bigger allocation under the federal Budget 2023 tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament yesterday, Parti Bumi Kenyalang president Voon Lee Shan said today.
“Sarawak had contributed much to the revenues of the federal government not only from oil and gas resources but also from taxes collected by government departments,” he said when reacting to the re-tabling of the federal Budget. He also questioned why Sabah has always received bigger allocations in the federal Budgets over the years when it is smaller in size compared to Sarawak.
Voon said Anwar, who is also the finance minister, should remove taxes on motorcycle tyres because these are poor man's transport.
