Sabah's 40% revenue rights cannot be lumped under federal allocations, says Kiandee

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's 40% revenue rights cannot be brushed away under federal expenditures to the state, says Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee.

The Bersatu vice-president said that Sabah's revenue rights was a mandatory grant of 40% under Article 112C of the Constitution and the recent statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that the Federal Government had allocated RM16bil to Sabah does not answer the state's revenue rights.
