Sabah rights body supports move by SLS not to drop judicial review of 40% special grant

KOTA KINABALU: A body advocating for state rights has lauded the Sabah Law Society (SLS) for not dropping its pursuit of holding a judicial review against the Federal Government’s failure to conduct a review of the 40% special grant due to Sabah under the Constitution.

At the same time, the Sabah Action Body Advocating Rights (Sabar) said it was "very disappointed" by the Federal Attorney General’s (AG) application to stay the SLS’ proceedings pending their appeal to the Court of Appeal against the High Court’s decision in granting leave.
