Previously, the special grant rate remained at RM26.7 million since 1969 before it was raised to RM53.4 million in 2019, RM125.6 million in 2022, and RM300 million in 2023. Earlier in the session, Anwar said the federal government has taken note of the Kota Kinabalu High Court’s decision on Oct 17 regarding the review of the Federal Special Grant to Sabah. “Today, to refute such accusations, I want to outline the broader framework of the Madani Government’s commitment to Sabah’s development,” Anwar said.
