Weak governance in Malaysia's opposition-led states blamed for lagging economic growth, despite federal support.

Weak governance is blamed for slow economic growth in Malaysia's four opposition-led states, known as 'State Government 4' (SG4). Political Secretary Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim states that despite federal assistance in funding and infrastructure, the states have not seen significant improvements. He argues that the SG4 must address issues like flooding to attract investors, refuting claims of federal neglect.
