40 per cent: Sabahans will die waiting

KOTA KINABALU: Kapayan Assemblyman Chin Tek Ming brought the heat at the State Legislative Assembly sitting, Monday, pushing a motion to force the Federal Government to reveal and repay Sabah's 40 per cent revenue share from 2022 to 2025.

Just as the House was about to call it a day, Chin grew visibly agitated, slamming four fruitless state-federal meetings and demanding answers.

Speaker Datuk Seri Kadzim M Yahya challenged whether his motion would even pass.

Chin fired back, saying whoever opposes it does not want Sabah's money.

He capped it off saying “At this rate of endless appeals, Sabahans will die waiting.”The House adjourned to Tuesday without a decision on the motion.
