Don't mix rights for 40% revenue return with development allocation, says Kitingan


KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) leaders are raising concerns about the federal government's delay in fulfilling the Malaysia Agreement 1963, especially in regard to the 40% return of revenue from the state.

Sabah STAR president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan and Parti Usno president Tan Sri Pandikar Amin said that the federal leaders failed to understand the state's right for the federal government to return 40% of revenue from Sabah under the Constitution.
