00:00UPCOR President Datuk Ewan-Benedik on Monday said he had tendered his resignation as Entrepreneur

00:08Development and Cooperatives Minister.

00:11He said he had started clearing his remaining leave and added that he would chair a special

00:16party Supreme Council meeting on Monday to discuss the Sabah First Agenda, which has

00:21been the basis of the party's struggle.

00:27This comes after Ewan said recently that he would quit the federal government if Putrajaya

00:32decides to appeal the October 17 Kota Kinabalu High Court ruling affirming Sabah's right to

00:3840 percent of net revenue derived from the state.

00:42He said the position expressed by the Attorney General's chambers in the written judgment

00:46by the court regarding the judicial review filed by the Sabah Law Society on the issue disregards

00:53the historical foundation of the formation of the Federation of Malaysia.

00:58He said the AGC should not file an appeal, but instead commenced negotiations with the

01:04Sabah government to implement the 40 percent entitlement.

01:07Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Ewan had acted too early in announcing his resignation.

01:13Anwar said the government had not decided whether or not to appeal the court ruling, adding

01:18that the Cabinet will meet on Tuesday to discuss the matter.
