KOTA KINABALU: There is no need to devise a new formula for Sabah’s 40% special revenue rights grant which is expected to be settled within 12 months, says Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

The Deputy Chief Minister said a resolution to the long-standing 40% special grant to Sabah was expected to be reached within the coming year, and that there was already an existing mechanism in the Federal constitution to see this through.
