The Government’s New Proposition, MYR 20 Mil For Dragstrips In Malaysia
Some food for thought. The government has announced that it plans to allocate an amount of MYR 20,000,000 for the construction of dragstrips in Malaysia.
The matter was publicized by the Minister of Finance, Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz in the recent presentation of the 2023 Budget.
Notably, this follows the Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s proclamation made last august that the government plans to build a circuit specifically for drag racing in each state.
Be it so, the details were sparse as to how the dragstrip project would be executed. Leaving questions in terms of the expenditures and how many exactly would be built.
That said, will this be a fruitful new proposition from the government for the future of the country’s motorsport industry or otherwise? Don't forget to share your thoughts below!
