KOTA KINABALU: Twelve Pakatan Harapan MPs and assemblymen have filed a claim in the High Court here seeking a declaration on Sabah's entitlement to a 40% share of Federal revenue.
They are seeking, among others, a declaration that Sabah is entitled to 40% of revenue derived by the Federal Government from the state annually to be"respected and delivered" as stated in the Constitution.
Angang said they were also seeking a declaration that any review done under Article 112D of the Constitution must be based on an amount that reflects and equals the amount due to the state under the provisions of the Constitution. Among the 12 to file the originating summons were Sabah PKR chairman Datuk Christina Liew , Upko president Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau , Sabah DAP chairman Datuk Frankie Poon .
Angang said the court action came about as Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said Sabah's 40% entitlement was no longer applicable.
