: Penang plans to send an official letter of request to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim regarding the proposal to return 20 per cent of taxes collected from the state after discussions at the upcoming meeting with Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier next month.
“In the previous meeting, the Prime Minister responded positively to the request for returning 20 per cent of tax revenue to Penang. However, this does not guarantee approval. Therefore, I will engage in discussions with other Chief Ministers and Menteris Besar in July,” he said. He expressed hope for open-mindedness from the federal government, considering the significance of numerous planned projects and initiatives requiring funding.
