If every state asks for the same thing, Johor will still remain poor because it receives a disproportionately higher amount from the federal budget as well.

What Johor gave in tax, the federal government returned two-fold from states like Penang, Sarawak.

Even if every state asking the same, Selangor, Penang, Johor and Sarawak will still be higher

"Johor provides about RM48 billion (S$13.8 billion) in tax revenue to the federal government, but only receives RM1.4 billion in return through the annual budget. How are we supposed to take care of our people? That’s why we have bad roads and poor education and health facilities,” he said"
