IN true SABAHAN SPIRIT, Sabah Law Society has taken the Federal Government to Court on the 40pc tax revenue issue. SLS was represented by some of Sabah’s best legal brains, Jeyan Marimuttu, Dr David Fung and a team of Sabahan spirited lawyers.
I do not know what Anwar is trying to convey to Sabahans in this 40pc legal case. Is Anwar being fair to Sabahans? Is Anwar the same as Mahathir and LGE or worse in this 40pc case? Mahathir and LGE did not dispute its legality. They simply refused to pay. With due respect, this is insufficient for Sabah. The Federal Government has ignored/neglected Sabah for far too long. Anwar must do more, a lot more for Sabah. At his present efforts, Sabah will never catch up.
Sabah should not accept the status quo imposed by the NIMP2030. We should take Anwar’s lack of attention very seriously and restore our rights to an equitable share of this plan. Bottom line is that Sabah will fall behind very seriously in the context of NIMP2030 and Anwar’s lack of investment promotion for Sabah.
Do we want high tech industries like chip, cloud computing, data storage, virtual reality, robotics? If so, what can we offer?
