Federal Govt shortchanging Selangor people – Khalid Ibrahim

Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, the Menteri Besar of has slammed the Federal Government for ‘shortchanging’ the people in the state where they are receiving more than they are giving. Khalid said "Out of the over RM600 million paid by Selangor people in taxes, the federal government is only granting us RM400 million in total for development," Haniza Mohamed Talha, the state assemblyperson of Taman Medan asked the question on restrictions imposed by the federal government on the Selangor state government when granting funds where Khalid added that “The state government has no powers to collect revenue from customs or company taxes but have to rely on the RM200 million "capitation grant" from the federal government. If the RM200 million is divided among the state's five million population, each would only get RM40 annually which amounts to RM4 a month.”

"What is important is the economy and not politics," citing a minister whom he did not mention where he laid ground works to build a bridge for a rural area but did not complete the project, he said "The bridge is not there. Stones have been placed but we do not know where they went. This burdens the economy,"
