NewsTranscript
00:00Abang Johari Openg has shot down former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's call for Sarawak
00:07to help less developed states since it has achieved high income status.
00:12Describing Mahathir's call as unreasonable, the Sarawak Premier said the state must first
00:17focus on boosting the income of its households, particularly in rural areas.
00:22Abang Johari also said Sarawak holds to the principle that charity begins at home, Meritaharian
00:28reported.
00:30He said Sarawak is not the federal government and therefore is not responsible to help other
00:34states.
00:35Instead, he suggested that Mahathir urge the federal government to focus on developing
00:40the poorer states.
00:42Abang Johari said Putrajaya received the lion's share of oil and gas revenue, while Sarawak
00:47only received state sales tax on petroleum products from Petronas.
00:53He also said Sarawak's high income status is the result of prudent economic management,
00:57adding that it is up to other states to manage their economies effectively and work harder.
