But the income, consumption and company taxes generated by the people in Peninsular probably pay for the facilities in rural areas too

Oil and gas and other natural resources are different story, its not like you as a rural dweller worked on these natural resources; the ones who do get taxed on their income

in the UK, the 2nd largest economy in Europe, the roads are subsidized. The belief is that all these roads give economic access to both the central as well as the periphery cities/areas including these rural areas that we are talking about

You cannot take away subsidies from roads in the Klang Valley. KL and Selangor are the bastion of our economies

Again, natural resources do not belong to the people of said states just because they happen to live there. We as a country have to work towards the betterment of the federal first, state second. Unless you are one of those Bangsa J types of people.

Regardless, if we are talking about S&S, well your forefathers elected to join Malaya to form Malaysia. No take backs.

Well, I am sorry to hear that.
