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. The High Court’s decision was never about whether Sabah has a 40% entitlement. The Constitution already provides for that. What the Court examined was whether that entitlement had been honoured in practice.

What demands attention is the sequence of events. The High Court directed that the constitutional review required under Article 112D be conducted

What the Federal Government Is Appealing — and Why It Matters
By Datuk Roger Chin KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government has repeatedly assured the public that it is not appealing Sabah’s 40% special grant entitlement. On the surface, this sounds reassuring. It suggests acceptance of the High Court’s decision and a willingness to move forward in good Faith. 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

I Rose In The Sabah State Legislative Assembly (ADUN) To Propose That A Motion Be Tabled - Roger Chin
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. The motion would call for an amendment to the Federal Constitution to allow Sabah to collect all revenues at source, with the Federal Government receiving its 60% share thereafter.
