KOTA KINABALU: Sabah will consider all legal avenues available constitutionally to pursue the 40% backdated revenue owed by the Federal Government if no feasible agreement is reached, says Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
Masidi, who is among the lead negotiators on this issue, said the matter is still being pursued and under discussion.
“It has been announced in the state assembly and all other subsequent statements that we have not even concluded the talks. The issue of us taking it or not does not even arise,” he said. This also comes following Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili’s suggestion that Sabah state its claim over the non-implementation of the 40% revenue entitlement and the alleged sum owed.
“In fact, as I have stated in the state assembly, both parties agree to disagree on the interpretation of the 40%, and will continue to negotiate it.
