Guan Eng stops short of saying when Sandakan Airport expansion project will start


Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng says the government's fiscal consolidation is on track as it targets to reduce the deficit from 3.7% of GDP in 2018 to below 3% by 2021.

Speaking in Mandarin during a ceramah for the Sandakan by-elections at SM Yu Yuan on Sunday (April 28), Lim pointed out that the RM80.9mil Sandakan Airport expansion project was approved by the Federal government.
