KOTA KINABALU: DAP Sabah expressed strong disappointment over the court’s decision to grant a stay on Sabah’s 40pc net revenue entitlement, calling it a setback that “brings us back to square one” after decades of delay.

Chairman Datuk Phoong Jin Zhe said it is clear that the 40pc entitlement is enshrined in the Federal Constitution and must not be subjected to indefinite uncertainty or vague timelines. 

"The Federal Government must provide a definitive date and a concrete roadmap for implementation...Sabahans deserve more than general assurances," he said in a statement.

Phoong also warned that failing to deliver this constitutional right, a GE15 manifesto promise, would carry significant political consequences.
