: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today clarified that the RM16 billion he announced for Sabah during the Kaamatan Festival on May 31 is the total allocation for the state this year, and not just for development projects.
He said the the amount covers various expenditures including schools, education, border security and overall state development. Anwar dismissed allegations that he had been deceptive about the allocation, urging all parties, particularly leaders he considers friends, to seek accurate information or ask him directly before making public statements.
“It is not just RM6.6 billion , as the RM6.6 billion is solely for development... so who pays the teachers , repair the roads and maintain border security... Those are all included in the RM16 billion. Some even suggested that adding in front makes it RM16 billion. That is incorrect. “If you want to be a friend, act like one. There must be decorum when it comes to friendship. You don’t need to thank us, just show a little appreciation. If is not sufficient, we can negotiate, and ask for more in a friendly manner,” he said in his speech at the Sabah Keadilan Convention here today.
