Kota Kinabalu: Sabah may appoint its own independent assessor to calculate the 40 per cent net revenue owed by the federal government if no agreement is reached by July, said Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.

The state Finance Minister said the amount to be agreed upon is still pending as there has been no clear answer from the federal government.

“It takes two to tango. We made eight requests for the data to determine the amount that we should be demanding from the federal government but until now there has been no reasonable answer from the federal government," he said at a state legislative assembly sitting, here, Monday.

“We agreed to the one-year negotiation period which expires in July. If no consensus is reached regarding the 40 per cent net revenue entitlement, it is up to Sabah to take the option to appoint an independent assessor."
