KOTA KINABALU: A top Sabah lawyer has taken issue over Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s remarks that the RM16bil federal allocation to the region is bigger than the 40% constitutional entitlement being pursued by Sabah.
Datuk Roger Chin said while the announcement of an increased allocation may appear generous on the surface, the RM16bil does not adequately address the fundamental issue of Sabah’s 40% net revenue entitlement under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
