Kota Kinabalu: SAPP President Datuk Yong Teck Lee said it is shocking that Federal Minister of Economy Datuk Rafizi Ramli relied on outdated data when describing Sabah as having eight poverty districts.
The former Chief Minister said it means that the Madani Government has been making decisions, plans and spending money on economic programmes that are outdated by as many as three years.
He was responding to Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor’s statement that Rafizi had relied on outdated data on poverty rates in Sabah in a speech at Parliament.
“This same Minister has been telling people to register and make self-declaration in the Padu database, implying that failure to do so would render a citizen incapable of receiving assistance from the Government.
