KOTA KINABALU: Sabah feels it has been shortchanged by the federal government over its development allocation for the state in Budget 2019, when compared to that given to Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Parti Warisan Sabah vice president Datuk Junz Wong (pic) said that the federal allocation for DBKL was RM2.89bil, compared to Sabah, which only got RM5bil. "DBKL alone almost got two-thirds of the figure allocated for Sabah," said Wong, who is also state Agriculture and Food Industry Minister. "Try to imagine that – the whole of Sabah was only allocated RM5bil, while DBKL alone has been allocated RM2.89bil for its development in 2019. Why is only DBKL allocated such a budget and DBKK is being marginalised?"
