How does current federal operating expenditure for Johor compare to previous administrations?

Question

Accepted Answer

Johor’s federal operating expenditure allocation under the current Madani Government is higher than under the previous administration.

The current Madani Government has increased Johor’s annual operating expenditure (OE) allocation to RM8.7 billion. Under the previous administration, Johor received about RM6 billion to RM7 billion annually in operating expenditure. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this OE allocation rose from RM7 billion in 2022 to RM8.7 billion in 2026.

Anwar Ibrahim provided a comparison showing that Johor’s OE allocation was in the RM6 billion to RM7 billion range under the previous government. He said the figure increased under the Madani Government to RM8.7 billion annually. The difference is presented as a step up from the prior annual level.
The timeline shows an increase from RM7 billion in 2022 to RM8.7 billion in 2026
Anwar also cited specific year figures to frame the change in OE allocation. He said the OE allocation to Johor increased from RM7 billion in 2022 to RM8.7 billion in 2026. This is the central comparison point used to describe the shift between administrations.
The comparison was presented alongside Johor’s broader federal allocation picture for 2026
In the same remarks, Anwar said Johor is the third-largest recipient of Operating Expenditure (OE) and Development Expenditure (DE) allocations after Sabah and Sarawak for 2026. He also noted that DE allocation rose from RM2.3 billion to RM4.8 billion over the same period. While the question focuses on OE, the 2026 context was used to situate Johor’s position in federal allocations.
