00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has indicated that he is personally not inclined to appeal the High Court's ruling

00:06that Pucca Jaya acted unlawfully by failing to honor Sabah's 40% share of federal revenue for nearly five decades.

00:13He told reporters today that the final decision would be made this week after hearing the Attorney General and consulting the Cabinet.

00:21He said that his personal inclination is to avoid appealing the Court's decision.

00:26Earlier, Anwar had said he would be fined with not filing an appeal against the ruling,

00:30but the final decision will be made after consulting the entire Cabinet at tomorrow's special meeting.

00:36Previously, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, a key party in the government and several other quarters,

00:41had urged Pucca Jaya against appealing the decision and to hold constructive engagements on the matter instead.

01:00Anwar also described Iwan's departure from the Federal Cabinet as premature,

01:04noting that Iwan is well aware that a decision has not yet been finalized.
