00:00Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, Deputy Secretary General Armizan Muhammad Ali
00:04has criticised Warisan for suddenly appearing like a hero
00:08following the Kota Kinabalu High Court's ruling affirming Sabah's 40% entitlement
00:13to net federal revenue collected from the state.
00:16Armizan said Warisan made it appear as if the party had brought the case to court
00:20while downplaying the contributions of other parties in defending Sabah's entitlement.
00:25He pointed out that Warisan President Shafiq Abdal
00:28had previously dismissed the need to take the federal government to court
00:31on the issue when he served as Chief Minister from 2018 to 2020.
00:37Bila ditanya adakah kerajaan negeri mempertimbangkan
00:40untuk membawa isu tuntutan hak Sabah dalam perlembagaan persekutuan ke mahkamah,
00:45jawabnya kerajaan negeri tidak mengambil pendekatan
00:48untuk mengheret kerajaan persekutuan ke mahkamah
00:51yang beliau sifatkan sebagai langkah yang tidak elok.
00:55Armizan, who is also the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister,
00:59said Shafiq had also dismissed calls by former Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister
01:04James Jemul Masing to jointly pursue legal action
01:07against Petronas over sales tax on petroleum products.
01:11He said GRS had consistently upheld Sabah's 40% entitlement
01:15to net federal revenue collected from the state,
01:18as evidenced by the Sabah Attorney General's Office
01:20supporting Sabah Law Society throughout the legal process.
