I'm from Sabah, and I can honestly relate that we had been treated fairly by increasing the class of vehicles in Sabah that qualifies for the rebate. Times are hard for everyone in Malaysia nowadays, but the facts remained that Sabah is still one of the poorest state in Malaysia, with poor basic infrastructures, which includes bad roads. To think that Sabah is one of the states with the richest natural resources but also one with the worst basic infrastructure provision really breaks my heart. Before anyone think that Sabah is "enjoying" more than the G, please, do take into consideration that living expenses here in Sabah had traditionally been more expensive than west Malaysia. Period. We purchased most of our products from west Malaysia and shipped them over to Sabah. Who do you think absorbs all the transport costs? The consumers of course! How elese would a plate of nasi ayam in a normal coffee shop costs RM5.00 here in Kota Kinabalu! You tell me!

But before you can jump to the question of fairness, have you ever been to Sabah (I have no experience on Sarawak), I mean not just Kota Kinabalu? There is no highway here and some interior links are terrible and only accessible by using 4x4. Can consider the move as political.

Especially road from KK to TAWAU via Ranau, Kundahsang, Lahad datu etc. Most of the roads are really steep which requires a lot of power ( Road to Kundahsang ). Many people travel through this road because going back to kampung, tourism purposes and business. Just my humble opinions guy. :-) from what i experiencing as a sabahan, the road condition here is very rough and many pot holes (some holes are really big).
