Sabah joins appeal against SLS bid to challenge grant provision

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government sprang a surprise when it decided to intervene in the Attorney General’s appeal against a High Court decision to grant the Sabah Law Society (SLS) leave to challenge the 40% special constitutional grant provisions.

SLS opposed the state government’s intervention but the Attorney-General, represented by a four-man team led by senior federal counsels Shamsul Bolhassan and Ahmad Hanir Hambaly, had no objections.
