Ewon tells Loke - ‘Sabah’s 40% revenue non-negotiable, this is my limit’

Upko president Ewon Benedick has resigned from the cabinet and pulled his party out of Pakatan Harapan, sending a strong signal that he will not compromise on Sabah’s rights, especially the long-debated 40 percent revenue entitlement. In a Facebook video, Ewon said that despite numerous MPs raising the issue in Parliament, it seemed that Putrajaya hadn’t taken sufficient actionEwon’s move comes after DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke criticized him for “playing to the gallery.”Meanwhile, As Sabah’s polls heat up, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is taking the fight personally, leading PKR’s election efforts in the state. Contesting just 12 of 73 seats, PKR insists it doesn’t aim to helm the state government—but with its historically weak track record in Sabah, the stakes are high, making Anwar’s high-profile push a make-or-break moment for the party.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://bit.ly/3B3ztIa
