Sarawak hopes MA63 commitments reflected in 2027 Budget – Abang Johari
KUCHING: Sarawak hopes funding-related matters agreed under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) will be reflected in the 2027 Budget.
KUCHING: Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Abang Openg has expressed hope that funding-related matters agreed upon under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) will be included in the 2027 Budget. The state government anticipates that the federal government will maintain its commitment to implementing matters discussed under MA63, particularly those concerning funding.
When asked about the prospect of an increase in allocations for the 2027 Budget, Abang Johari stated that the matter would depend on the Prime Minister's announcement on October 9. The Sarawak government is also planning to review funding for several state-owned enterprises (SOEs), but has not disclosed the number of SOEs slated for funding cuts.
The Premier emphasized that this would be revealed in the Sarawak 2027 Budget, urging all parties to await its tabling before making any further comments.
