Pakatan: Don't let revised special grant to Sabah allow Putrajaya to forget 40% revenue share


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Pakatan Harapan has concerns that the recently-reviewed special grant will eventually absolve the Federal Government of its commitment to pay back 40% of revenue earned from the state.

The Opposition coalition said in a statement on Thursday (April 21) that the state government should have insisted on the Federal Government acknowledging the state's right to the 40% formula before accepting any review.
