Wakil Sabah mahu 40% hasil negeri terus laksana bila PAS tadbir Putrajaya

In an interview, PAS Sabah representative Aliakbar Gulasan expressed his desire for the state to retain 40% of the federal government's revenue as stipulated in the 1963 Malaysia Agreement (MA63), without any negotiations, should the party govern Putrajaya. Gulasan emphasized that this provision is a key expectation of Sabah's people for a long time.

He stated, "Sabah does not wish to demand more. Sabah does not wish for Islamic aid. What Sabah desires is the 40% of Sabah's revenue that is to be returned to the state, as outlined in Article 112C and 112D of the constitution." Gulasan, who is also the Adun for Karambunai, further urged for the termination of the "subsidiary" funding through Budi Madani in Sabah, as he believes it is not suitable for the state's demographic and geographical makeup.

He pleaded, "Let us request the removal of Budi Madani, or whoever he may be known as, so that all types of oil in Sabah receive the same subsidy as previously enjoyed. This is because Sabah, with its vast population, demographics, and geography, urgently requires this return of funds to its original state."
