Msia Budget 2009

The federal allocated RM3 billion to develop rural infrastructure in Sabah, that’s good news.

Sabah palm oil and livestock farming projects will get the appropriate attention, that’s good news.

The RM56 billion allocated to increase food production including increasing padi cultivation in the country is also good news.

Non-taxable income has been increased to RM1,500 and personal income tax reduced by one percent, that’s good news.

Welfare assistance has been increased by 100 percent, victims of accidents and disasters will get financial assistance and aid for the disabled has been increased, that’s good news

The focus given to development in Sabah for the 2009 Budget sounds like BN-UMN0 start taking Sabah seriously now as a equal partner instead of a milking cow.

But it sound too good to be true, the newly unveiled budget, a winning budget that would help BN-UMN0 regain their popularity?

Whether BN-UMN0 can stay as the government until next year is a big question mark itself but for me this is popular budget geared towards gaining public trust towards BN-UMN0.
Stop the talking as the government should conduct a comprehensive study to determine the types of crops that are suitable for cultivation.

I believe the study will help in the development of agriculture in the rural areas.

Sabah’s future would depend on agriculture as the state has plenty of land suitable for agriculture.

The local industries must support the development of the agriculture sector.
