Kota Kinabalu: Sabah may appoint its own independent assessor to calculate the 40 per cent net revenue owed by the Federal Government if no agreement is reached by July, said Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
The State Finance Minister said the amount to be agreed upon is still pending as until now there’s no clear answer from the Federal Government.“It takes two to tango. We made eight requests for the data to determine the amount that we should be demanding from the Federal Government but until now there has been no reasonable answer.
Bung had asked whether the State intended to appoint an independent assessor to determine the amount owed.Responding to another question from Datuk Yong Teck Lee , Masidi agreed that calculations for the 40 per cent federal net revenue entitlement were actually not that complicated, if the Federal Government provided the State with the data it needed.
“The interim payment is just a short-term payment while we continue to fight for our rights. We will continue to fight and this includes getting back the arrears owed to us from the beginning until now,” said Masidi.
