Kuala Lumpur: Sabah will consider re-filing its case to compel the federal government to pay the state a 40% net revenue special grant by July next year if Putrajaya fails to deliver, Wilfred Madius Tangau (PH-Tuaran) said.
“I need to remind you that we withdrew the lawsuit against the federal government because the expectation was that the special grant formula will be completed by July 2024.“If it is not, we will re-file. We have every reason and right to do so,” Tangau said, following the winding up speech by Sabah, Sarawak affairs and special functions minister Armizan Ali.
The minister said the RM300 million special grant allocated to Sabah was only an interim solution, and a fixed formula had yet to be agreed upon by the federal and state governments. Last year, 12 MPs filed a claim in the High Court demanding Sabah be paid a grant equivalent to 40% of federal revenue from the state.Their lawyer, Nelson Angang, cited Article 112C and Section 2 of Part IV of the Tenth Schedule of the constitution in their demand.
