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. Additionally, Sabah and Sarawak’s unique position under the MA63 adds to the complexity of these discussions. How should Malaysia navigate the demands for greater funds? On the episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to economist Professor Dr Jomo Kwame Sundaram, and Dr Tricia Yeoh, CEO of IDEAS Malaysia.
