Tuaran MP Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau (pic) described the Appeal Court’s decision to allow the Federal Government to postpone the implementation of the judicial review on Sabah’s 40 per cent revenue claim as a “heavy blow and a black chapter” in the history of the State’s struggle for its rights.

Madius also reminded that the commitment to implement the return of 40 per cent of net revenue derived from Sabah was clearly stated in the Pakatan Harapan manifesto during the 15th General Election.

According to him, the manifesto detailed the implementation of the revenue return based on the original formula under Article 112C and Subsection 2(1) of Part IV of the Tenth Schedule of the Federal Constitution, while also setting the requirement for a review every five years as provided under Article 112D.

He added that such a promise should be implemented with consistency and integrity, in accordance with the spirit of the federation and justice for Sabah.
