Sarawak activist says the blame game excuse has been heard all too often, and 'more solid reasons' are needed FMTNews
KUCHING: A Sarawak activist says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng should stop blaming Barisan Nasional for the many unfulfilled promises to the state and needs to come up with “more solid reasons”.
“In other words, Lim is telling Sabahans and Sarawakians that Putrajaya needs the revenue from oil and gas from their territories to finance other priorities,” he said. “And you are looking at funds of RM150 billion. It is not a small sum. 1MDB, those related to 1MDB and non-1MDB related scandals, all involve sums amounting to RM150 billion,” he was quoted as saying.
