Will an independent assessor finally resolve the Sabah revenue dispute?

Question

## An Independent Assessor's Role in Resolving the Sabah Revenue Dispute Remains Unclear

Accepted Answer

The Sabah government has indicated it will appoint an independent assessor to determine the amount owed to the state by the federal government if an agreement on the special grant is not reached. This move is part of Sabah's ongoing efforts to reclaim 40 per cent of its revenue, a right the state maintains is enshrined in the Federal Constitution and was negotiated prior to Malaysia's formation. While the appointment of an assessor signifies a potential step towards quantifying the financial claims, the reference content does not definitively state whether this process will ultimately resolve the dispute.
