How do current federal funds for Johor compare to its contributions?

Question

Accepted Answer

Federal Allocations to Johor Exceed State Contributions

The federal government has allocated more funds to Johor than the state has contributed in revenue between 2023 and 2025. During this period, Johor's revenue contribution to the federal coffers was approximately RM14 billion. In return, the federal government channelled RM16 billion back to Johor through various development projects, operating allocations, and related programmes.
Increased Operating Expenditure for Johor

Operating expenditure allocations for Johor have seen a significant increase under the current Madani Government. Previously, Johor received between RM6 billion and RM7 billion annually for operating expenditure under the previous administration. This allocation has since been raised to RM8.7 billion under the current government.
Projected Development and Operating Allocations

Looking ahead to 2026, Johor is projected to be the third-largest recipient of both Operating Expenditure (OE) and Development Expenditure (DE) allocations. Only Sabah and Sarawak are expected to receive larger allocations. Specifically, Johor's OE allocation is set to rise from RM7 billion in 2022 to RM8.7 billion by 2026, while its DE allocation is projected to increase from RM2.3 billion to RM4.8 billion within the same timeframe.
Significant Social Assistance Recipient

Johor also ranks as a major recipient of direct financial assistance programmes. The state is the second-largest beneficiary of aid under the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) initiatives, receiving more assistance than any other state except Selangor.
