THE QUESTION of what constitutes NET REVENUE remains the definitive battleground for Sabah’s fiscal future. As the court-mandated deadline approaches, the conversation has moved far beyond simple tax and duty collection.

Federal negotiators frequently point to high federal spending on schools, hospitals, and security within the state as justification for withholding the special grant. This defense fundamentally misunderstands the constitutional mathematics of the Malaysia Agreement 1963.

SABAH is currently powered by a budget that represents only a small fraction of its true worth. While the formal 2026 Budget stands at RM6.43 billion, the real engine of the state economy lies in the 40% Revenue Entitlement affirmed through the High Court order of 17 October 2025.

WE have only one tribe here: Bornean

Forged by Mount Kinabalu and Rajang River. Fed by rice grown under one sun and nourished by the same rains.

Gini bah: 

Our lingua franca flows. Multiple tongues. One family.

Our bloodlines fuse. Multiple ancestries. One pulse.

We carry the wisdom of our ancestors.

Kitak tauk sik?

Here, every system, every structure, is inclusive.

Do not label us as “lain-lain.”

Sini tiada “lain”, Bornean saja.
