Consider This: Federalism - When States Want More
Recently Johor and Penang have made headlines with their push for a larger share of the taxes they collect. Johor, at the urging of regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, is seeking 20 to 30 percent of its collected taxes, while Penang is seeking 20 percent. These demands are raising important questions about decentralisation and financial autonomy.
