Former Petagas assemblyman James Ligunjang says Sabahans must remain steadfast and have faith in the nation’s structured legal framework.

PETALING JAYA: Ex-Petagas assemblyman James Ligunjang has urged Sabahans to exercise patience and remain steadfast concerning their entitlement to 40% of federal revenue derived from the state, following a minister’s resignation yesterday.

Ligunjang described as “premature” the decision by Upko’s Ewon Benedick to resign as the entrepreneur development and cooperatives minister in view of the stance taken by the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) on the case.

“While emotions run high and the desire for immediate justice is understandable, trusting the legal process is essential for achieving lasting constitutional recognition.
