00:00Penampang APCO has urged Party President Ewan Benedict to resign from the Cabinet if the
00:05Attorney General's Chamber files an appeal against the ruling recognizing Saba's right
00:10to 40 percent of federal revenue derived from the state. The call was made during the division's
00:15convention chaired by its chief, Donald Peter Mojuntin, which passed a resolution supporting
00:20the Kuta Kinabalu High Court's judgment in the Saba Law Society's judicial review,
00:25Borneo Daily Bulletin reported. The convention also urged Putrajaya to comply with the court's
00:31decision and reach an agreement within 180 days on the revenue payment. Donald said APCO stands in
00:37solidarity with the people of Saba and remains committed to defending rights under the Malaysia
00:41Agreement 1963 and the federal constitution. In his winding up speech at the convention, Ewan said
00:48the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers and Cabinet members know his view that the AGC should
00:53not appeal and he will convey it formally at next week's Cabinet meeting. On Friday,
00:58the Kuta Kinabalu High Court ruled that the federal government acted unlawfully by not honoring Saba's
01:0340 percent revenue share. The AGC yesterday said it would review the High Court's written judgment
01:09before taking any further action. Dansh Rajariza, FMT
