Kota Kinabalu: The parameter that should be used to set the amount of Special Grant for Sabah is by referring to the 40pc net revenue as stipulated in Article 112C of the Federal Constitution, said Sabah Law Society (SLS) President Roger Chin.

According to him, despite the ability to debate on the issue of Sabah’s Special Grant that is provided in Article 112D, it does not explain in more depth on how to review the amount.

“I do agree 112D does not say how you review the thing. Right, so it seems to me that you would go in, you would negotiate, but how do you negotiate? Obviously there has to be a starting point.
