Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar stated that the Madani government respects the Kota Kinabalu High Court’s decision on the 40% net revenue special grant and will follow the Attorney General’s legal advice in determining the next steps, to ensure all measures are in the interests of both Sabah and Malaysia as a whole.
On October 17, the High Court ordered the federal government to review with the Sabah state government the 40% net revenue special grant that Sabah is entitled to for the period from 1974 to 2021 within 90 days, and to reach an agreement within 180 days.
The Prime Minister said this in Parliament today when explaining the Madani government’s position on giving Sabah the special grant.
