Implement 40% revenue claim immediately if PAS forms next govt, says Sabah delegate
Karambunai assemblyman Aliakbar Gulasan says there should be no further negotiations, just implementation.
A Sabah PAS delegate, Aliakbar Gulasan, has urged the party to immediately put into effect the state's constitutional claim for a 40% revenue entitlement if it becomes the next federal government following the 16th general election. Gulasan, who is the sole elected representative of PAS in Sabah, made the statement during a debate on PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's policy speech at the party's meeting.
He emphasized that Sabah is not seeking more than what is already outlined in the Federal Constitution, nor is it requesting any gratuity payment. Gulasan stated that the 40% revenue entitlement is already stipulated in the Malaysia Agreement 1963. Should PAS govern Malaysia, he insisted that the claim would not be a matter of negotiation but of implementation.
Furthermore, Gulasan proposed discontinuing targeted subsidies under the BUDI Madani initiative, arguing that the needs of Sabah's residents would be better served by subsidizing all types of fuel. Currently, subsidised petrol under the SKPS scheme is priced at RM2.05 per litre, while subsidised diesel under the SKDS scheme is sold at RM2.15 per litre.
