Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee
DATUK Yong Teck Lee’s statement as published in the Daily Express on Thursday, 15 April, 2021 calling upon Tan Sri Harris to explain why Sabah was downgraded like any of the other states in 1976 is mischievous.
Yong implied that Harris by agreeing to the downgrade was the reason why Sabah has remained poor in all aspects.
It is recorded that Sabah is the poorest state in Malaysia even behind Kelantan.
However, he failed to mention that Sarawak, was also downgraded to “state” and yet Sarawak is ranked one of the top eleven states in the Federation of Malaysia.
