PETALING JAYA: The Sabah government will engage Putrajaya to implement a High Court order affirming the constitutional right to 40% of federal revenue from the state, says caretaker chief minister Hajiji Noor.
In welcoming the Kota Kinabalu High Court’s decision today, Hajiji said this will be done “in the spirit of cooperation and mutual respect” to ensure Sabah’s constitutional rights are fully upheld.
Hajiji said the state had fought the issue relentlessly through every formal channel, at every Malaysia Agreement 1963 meeting and in countless letters sent to the federal government.
