State Reform Party (Star Sabah) has urged the Sabah government to claim 40 percent of the revenue collected under the goods and service tax (GST), tariffs and other sales taxes in the state.

“It is our right and there is no need to negotiate the return of 40 percent of all revenues collected from Sabah through taxes with the federal government, since this is provided for by the Malaysia Agreement and the Federal Constitution,” Star Sabah chief Jeffrey Kitingan said.
