More than money: Sabah’s quest for fair revenue and fight for 35% parliamentary representation

AI Summary

Sabah's pursuit of its 40% net revenue share, as per the 1963 Malaysia Agreement, is being pursued through a two-pronged approach. Pakatan Harapan (PH) Sabah strategically withdrew its lawsuit against the federal and state governments, opting for collaborative engagement through the MA63 Implementation Action Council. Concurrently, the Sabah Law Society (SLS) continues its legal action. PH Sabah's move, facilitated by Datuk Ewon Benedick's involvement in the council, prioritizes negotiation and has led to positive developments like Sabah's representation on the Inland Revenue Board and interim payments from the federal government.
