Kota Kinabalu (Aug 27): STARSabah president Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan has called on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to immediately enforce Sabah's 40 per cent revenue share under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and the Federal Constitution. If the federal government fails to act, Dr Jeffrey warns of potential repercussions in the upcoming general election.

Dr Jeffrey emphasized that the 40 per cent is not a matter of federal discretion and belongs to Sabah, stressing the need for the federal government to acknowledge this and act accordingly.
