Federal govt’s ability to pay revenue owed to Sabah and Sarawak questionable, says Jeffrey Kitingan

KOTA KINABALU: The Federal government might not be able to fulfil its commitment to pay Sabah and Sarawak the 40% net revenue owed due to financial reasons, says Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

The Sabah STAR president said his gut feelings tell him that "they" would not be able to pay what was owed to Sabah and that reasons such as "financial situation" and "the needs of the state" would be used as an excuse or factors for consideration.
