KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22 ― Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, said that annual expenditure distribution and the appointment of Sabah and Sarawak representatives in the Inland Revenue Board are among the main issues in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 which have been successfully resolved by the Unity Government.
He added that the federal government will also fund public infrastructure construction projects in Sabah and Sarawak, with the entire allocation being distributed to the state governments conditionally, but that it must go through strict financial supervision and regulations and be monitored by the Ministry of Finance.
“Therefore, we created a format and regulations to increase the allocation to RM300 million per year, subject to some details of the agreement,” he said when met by reporters after the Chinese New Year open house, hosted by the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall , at the KLSCAH building here today.
Earlier, Anwar, in his speech, stressed that most of the provisions in the MA63 agreement which have been unresolved for more than 60 years, were successfully completed during the MA63 Implementation Action Council meeting, attended by the Sabah chief minister and Sarawak premier, last Friday.
