Well,I am not trying to be a government supporter but it's not 100% true that the federal government totally neglect other Malaysian states and pour too much $$$ into Klang valley.
While Penangites complain they are treated like a stepchild,they must also remember that the Federal Government decided to build the Penang bridge,probably Malaysia's first mega project.And another one is being built.
Sarawak also have the largest Gas complex in the world while the federal government risked alot to give Sabah an offshore investment hub in Labuan.Plus,Sabah and Saraawak receive the most $$$ from Federal government under 9MP after Penang.
The Northern states have the Kulim high tech park which is a successful project.
Projects like the Putrajaya,Cyberjaya and Proton city will also help to spread wealth to states like N9 and Malacca.
The East-West coast will distribute wealt to the East Coast,the same effect as the PLUS.A similar highway is planned in East Malaysia.
Despite the noble efforts by the government,most of this $$$ does to a large extent benefit the same people(cronies).The plan is good,but the execution is bad.Some Malaysian will say 'At least BN build schools and unis',but if they keep executing the plans poorly without learning,we may not be able to afford building 'schools and unis' in the future.
Besides that,I also agree that East Malaysia should get more than %5 of its oild royalty.
