KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Bumiputera Farmers and Rearers Association (Petanah) described the 2012 Budget unveiled by the Prime Minister on Friday as a huge slap on the faces of native farmers in Sabah and Sarawak.
Petanah president Gaibin Ransoi, in a statement here, said he was shocked that despite the numerous packages offered to Malaysians, the Prime Minister had totally forgotten the poverty-stricken farmers in the two Borneo states.
"It's the same case, year after year, with the national budget," Ransoi said.
