Kota Kinabalu: A law cannot be displaced by a mere political agreement, said a political analyst with regards to Sabah’s 40 per cent special grant claim.
University Malaya’s Faculty of Law Prof. Dr Shad Saleem Faruqi said the constitution cannot be set aside by mere political or administrative arrangements.
He said although government policies, circulars, and gazettes in this country are said to be capable of overwriting a law, they should not be done in such a way and certainly cannot replace a law which requires a formal order by the king.
