Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said Sabah has been committed and consistent in seeking more from the federal government than ever before. — Bernama picKOTA KINABALU, May 17 — The Sabah government has categorically confirmed that it will never give up the fundamental constitutional rights of the state in relation to the 40 per cent net revenue special grant under Article 112C and 112D of the Federal Constitution.
Hajiji said while this falls short of what is expected, Sabah has been committed and consistent in seeking more from the federal government than ever before. “I do not want to prejudge the outcome of the Court of Appeal but I share the same sentiment as the rakyat“I have already instructed the State Attorney General to scrutinise and review the ongoing legal proceedings and, if necessary, to correct any misguided statement that differs from the state’s clear and formal position.
“If there is no agreement or solution between the state and the federal governments on the special grant, we will move to activate the constitutional provision to appoint an independent assessor to determine this issue and decide what the federal government is obligated to pay to Sabah,” said Hajiji.
