Sabah lawmakers ready for court action if 40pc revenue talks fail

Tuaran MP Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau said slow progress since the Oct 17, 2025 High Court ruling has left just 44 days to meet the 180-day deadline.

The townhall and briefing included Sabah MPs, Senators, and the Sabah Law Society legal team, showing unified support to enforce the state’s constitutional rights.
