Kota Kinabalu: Sabah’s RM16 billion federal allocation for this year surpasses the 40 per cent in revenue the state government is claiming from Putrajaya through the courts, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.

He also said his Madani government has done more to resolve many outstanding issues concerning the Malaysian Agreement 1963 in the last one and a half years since he became prime minister, compared to those who had been in power for the past decade.“When I became prime minister in 2022, we gave Sabah RM12.9 billion. In 2024, I added another RM4 billion, so it’s RM16 billion for the people of Sabah.
