PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he will provide clarification on negotiations between the Federal Government and the Sabah government, including the review of Sabah’s 40 per cent special grant entitlement under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), tomorrow.

“I will explain that tomorrow in Sabah. I will go to Sabah," he told reporters briefly after performing Friday prayers at the Saidina Hamzah Mosque, as reported by Bernama, today.

Yesterday, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) secretary-general Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said the federal government remains committed to correcting the previous administration’s official position, including undertaking a review of Sabah’s 40 per cent special grant entitlement.

Armizan, who is also Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, said the commitment aligns with Anwar’s stance recognising Sabah’s rights as provided for under the Federal Constitution. – May 29, 2026
