Sabah, Finally Getting its Dues

Last Friday, the Kota Kinabalu High Court ruled in favor of Sabah,  declaring that the federal government acted unlawfully by withholding 40% of the state’s revenue from 1974 to 2021. Prof. James Chin, Professor in Asian Studies, University of Tasmania tells us what the ramifications of this are especially since the Sabah elections will be held soon.
