Weak governance is the primary reason why the four opposition-ruled states, collectively known as ‘State Government 4’ (SG4), have not seen significant economic growth and development, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s political secretary Kamil Abdul Munim.

He said there is no justification for any party to blame the federal government for the sluggish economic progress in the four states as substantial assistance has been provided in the form of funding and infrastructure development.
