State leaders: Negotiations on return of 40% revenue ongoing

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah leaders have welcomed a four-fold increase in the federal special grant but maintained that they are still pursuing the return of 40% revenue earned by the state.

The special grant amounting to RM125mil a year was a temporary measure, they said, and should not be regarded as a replacement to the return of 40% revenue to Sabah.
