The federal government has decided not to appeal the High Court’s ruling affirming Sabah’s entitlement to 40% of federal revenue collected from the Bornean state.

The Attorney-General’s Chambers said the decision followed a special Cabinet meeting held today to discuss the Kota Kinabalu High Court’s Oct 17 ruling, which came after a judicial review filed by the Sabah Law Society against the federal government.

Last month, the Kota Kinabalu High Court ruled that Putrajaya had acted unlawfully by failing to honour Sabah’s 40% share of federal revenue for nearly five decades.

In a statement, the AGC said it had informed the Cabinet that the federal government respects the principle of the special grant as outlined in the Federal Constitution.

“The federal government will therefore not appeal the special grant based on the 40% revenue and will begin negotiations with the Sabah state government immediately,” said the statement.

“The AGC also provided advice and recommendations to the Cabinet on defects in the court’s judgment.

“These included allegations that both the federal and state governments had abused power and violated constitutional obligations – a matter potentially dating back to 1974.

The AGC noted that the judgment also criticised the post-2021 review as unlawful, irrational, procedurally flawed, and disproportionate.

“The federal government intends to appeal these defects in the court’s judgment.”
