Criticism arises over RM16bil allocation to Sabah amid 40% revenue claim


KUALA LUMPUR: The 40% net revenue payment owed to Sabah is stipulated in the Federal Constitution, unlike claims arising from other states in Peninsular Malaysia, said Parti Warisan President Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal (pic).

His statement follows a recent announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim regarding the RM16bil federal allocation to Sabah, which has been criticised for not addressing the state's 40% constitutional entitlement under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
