KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government sprang a surprise when it decided to intervene in the Attorney General’s appeal against a High Court decision to grant the Sabah Law Society leave to challenge the 40% special constitutional grant provisions.
The state felt that the rights of the Sabah government would be negatively affected if it was excluded from the hearing. He said there was supposed to have been a mandatory review in 1974 but it was not done. The consequences of that breach are justiciable and for the court to decide on. Under the Constitution there is a revenue-sharing formula by which the state would receive 40% of revenue above a certain threshold. Since 1974, the Federal Government has instead provided increased special interim grants to Sabah and Sarawak, with no review.
On the Attorney General’s challenge to SLS’ standing, he said the AG had confused the threshold of locus standi.
