Sabah Government,Sabah,40 Per Cent Of Sabahs Revenue

KOTA KINABALU, May 29 — After numerous attempts to obtain data and figures from the federal government to claim its constitutional right to 40 per cent of the state’s revenue,...

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan said that the one-year deadline to resolve the outstanding issues on the state’s rights within the Malaysian Agreement 1963 was drawing near and a resolution on the 40 per cent right had yet to be reached.

“We need the data to resolve this issue and we have asked the federal government to furnish us with the details eight times prior to this, but they did not reply to us. He said that the state has resorted to this move as an initiative to begin proper discussions on how to get its claim before the July 18 deadline, where he said the Federal Constitution provides for Sabah to appoint an independent assessor to calculate and provide the data.
