PGRS: RM1.5b interim payment does not settle Sabah's 40pc claim
Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah's information chief Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan said the Federal Government's raised interim payment of RM1.5 billion to Sabah does not resolve the state's 40 per cent constitutional claim. He said the party welcomes the increase and the in-principle agreement to boost Sabah and Sarawak's parliamentary representation, but insists the 40pc entitlement and other MA63 matters must still be finalised.
