KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Pakatan Harapan leaders should not drop their suit over state rights against Putrajaya, says Parti Warisan.
Its president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the suit had been filed and should have just let the court decide.“Previously, I told them there was no need to bring this to court, but they did it anyway, so they should just let the court decide. Why retract it now?” he asked after chairing the party’s meeting here on Saturday .
Among others, they seek a declaration that Sabah is entitled to 40% of revenue from the Federal Government from the state annually to be “respected and delivered” as stated in the Constitution. The 12 Pakatan representatives are Datuk Christina Liew, Datuk Ewon Benedick, Datuk Frankie Poon, Datuk Seri Madius Tangau, Awang Hussaini Sahari, Chan Foong Hin, Phoong Jin zhe, Jannie Lasimbang, Peto Galim, Tan Lee Fatt, Vivian Wong and Noorita Sual.Mohd Shafie said the other option now is to wait for a similar suit filed by Sabah Law Society and the court’s decision.
Mohd Shafie said the formula for calculating this 40% revenue tax owed needed to be finalised by the government and that the money owed to Sabah and Sarawak could have been used for many developments.
