Give opposition YBs equal allocation: Liew

Kota Kinabalu: Api Api Assemblywoman Datuk Christina Liew urged the State Government to emulate Johor in giving Opposition legislators the same development allocation as their Government counterparts.

She made the call when debating on the State Budget 2021 at the State Legislative Assembly sitting on Monday.

“Johor has set a good example for Sabah to follow. If Sabah can do likewise, the State Government can affirm that it is an inclusive administration,” she said.
