DEOpinion 'MPs and Assemblymen, if at all possible, should attend this SLS Townhall to enable them to raise this subject in Parliament and Legislative Assembly in an informed manner.' - Datuk John Lo
I hope many Sabahans, especially Members of Parliament and Assemblymen, political leaders and the public will attend the Townhall organized by the Sabah Law Society on 21st July 2023 between 2 to 3.30pm. Further details are available from SLS. Many people, include a number of leaders have spoken on the subject without fully understanding the complexity and the severity of implications of Sabah’s entitlement of the 40% of net revenue.
Being a statutory body, meaning it is part of the Sabah Government, SLS has the locus standi to sue the Federal Government for the payment of the 40%. SLS is apolitical.As a Sabahan, I am deeply appreciative, as all Sabahans should be, that SLS has taken the action to sue the Federal Government for the 40% as it has procrastinated for years, has been giving peanuts grant to Sabah to avoid settling the issue.
https://www.thevibes.com/articles/news/84554/high-court-stays-sabah-law-bodys-judicial-review-on-special-grant These expenditure items will define and affect the amount of net revenue. Has Sabah Government given a carte blanche for the Federal Government to spend the revenue from Sabah? Or should the Federal Government seek prior approval from Sabahan Government?
I am certain many concerned Sabahans want to ask questions or seek clarifications on the action taken by SLS against the Federal Government during the SLS Townhall meeting.
