KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is expecting more than RM200mil from the Federal Government to manage natural disasters, says Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan. He added that the RM18mil presented by the Prime Minister recently was for immediate use, including for Covid-19 management. The Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia Titingan assemblyman said prior to this, the state Disaster Management Committee had received RM8mil for disaster relief. He said this following Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin’s statement that the allocated funds for disasters and Covid-19 management in Sabah were insufficient and unfair. "The Kota Kinabalu MP should have checked his facts first before making comments with ill intent to gain political mileage,” Nizam said.
