The Appeal Says One Thing — But the Documents Say Another
16 March 2026 The Prime Minister says the Federal Government is not appealing Sabah’s 40% entitlement. But the appeal filed in court challenges almost everything that makes that entitlement enforceable. That distinction is not technical. It goes to the heart of the matter.

What the Court examined was whether that entitlement had been honoured in practice.

When Urgency Comes Too Late
On 3 March 2026, the Government of the Federation of Malaysia filed an application to stay the High Court’s Order of 17 October 2025. That Order was not advisory.

What the Federal Government Is Appealing — and Why It Matters

However, the Memorandum of Appeal filed recently reveals the true extent of the appeal, and it tells a far more troubling story. While the Government has chosen not to challenge the m

Today, during the winding-up speech by YB Minister of Finance Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun, I rose in the Sabah State Legislative Assembly (DUN) to propose that a motion be tabled.
