KOTA KINABALU, July 18 — Sabah did not relinquish its rights to a 40 per cent revenue entitlement from Putrajaya when it agreed to an interim payment of RM125.6 million in April last year as believed, Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said today.
“Therefore the receipt of an interim payment of RM125.6 million — an increase from RM26.7 million previously — was stated to be strictly without prejudice to all the State’s rights. He added that this matter is stated in Article 112C and Section 2 of Part IV in the Tenth Schedule as well as Article 112D of the Federal Constitution.
“If both parties are unable to come to an agreement after negotiations then we will refer this matter to an independent assessor as provided in Article 112D of the Federal Constitution. Masidi said that the state government will always uphold Sabah’s constitutional rights and will do its best to meet the high expectations of the public.
