Kota Kinabalu: A resolution to the long-standing 40% special grant to Sabah is expected to be reached within the coming year, says Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.
“The decision was made by the Technical Committee of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, which agreed to adopt this resolution,” he said in a statement here today.
He emphasised that resolving this issue, pending for the past 58 years, is crucial to ensuring that Sabah receives its rightful revenue rights entitlement.
Representing the Sabah government in the MA63 committee, Jeffrey affirmed that the federal government, under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's leadership, has pledged to deliver on the outstanding constitutional rights.
