Kota Kinabalu: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the Federal Government should be fair and uphold the Federal Constitution in restoring Sabah’s 40 per cent net earnings under Article 112C and Part IV of the 10th Schedule of the Constitution, as well as its five-year reviews under Article 112D.
Jeffrey, who is also Chairman of the State Cabinet Committee on MA63 and State Rights, said the Federal Government should take a similar stance in relation to the return of a fair and equitable amount to Sarawak under the same Constitutional provisions, despite the fact that the 40 per cent is not explicitly stated as it is in Sabah’s case.
