Anwar to chair MA63 meeting on Sabah’s 40pc revenue claim, says Hajiji

Sabah's claim for 40 per cent of its net revenue will be discussed at the MA63 meeting chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The federal government agreed to Sabah's 40 per cent payment claim, but technical issues still need resolving.

The Kunak Lipids Phytonutrient Extraction Plant is nearly complete and expected to produce vitamin E by the year's end, marking a positive development for Sawit Kinabalu.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — Sabah’s claim for 40 per cent of its net revenue will be among the issues discussed at a Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) meeting to be chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim this Friday.

Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said Sabah would host the meeting, which would also discuss outstanding claims and issues under MA63, Sinar Harian reported.

He said this after a working visit to the Kunak Lipids Sdn Bhd Phytonutrient Extraction Plant in Kunak today.

Hajiji said the Sabah government was grateful to Anwar, as nine matters under MA63 had been resolved during his administration, including the devolution of certain powers to Sabah.

“Previously there were four matters, so a total of 13 (matters) have been resolved. However, there are still other matters, including the 40 per cent payment,” he said.

Hajiji said the federal government had agreed to Sabah’s claim for the 40 per cent payment, but several technical issues remained to be resolved.

“They have agreed but there are still some issues, perhaps technical issues, that have been raised. This is a normal process because there is an appeal process, but it does not affect the decision for us to receive the 40 per cent payment,” he said.

He said unresolved matters would be raised again for consideration at subsequent MA63 meetings or negotiations.

In a separate development, Hajiji welcomed progress on the Kunak Lipids Sdn Bhd Phytonutrient Extraction Plant, which is nearing completion and is expected to begin producing vitamin E before the end of the year.

He said the plant represented a positive development and a downstream business for Sawit Kinabalu Group, using palm-based materials in its production.

“I am very pleased to hear the briefing from Sawit Kinabalu and the company working with Sawit Kinabalu that the plant built to produce vitamin E is almost completed and will produce vitamin E before the end of the year,” he said.

Hajiji said the project was believed to be the first of its kind in Malaysia and could help increase revenue for Sawit Kinabalu and its partner company.

沙巴州要求获得其净收入的 40% 作为补偿，这一诉求将在由首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣主持的 MA63 会议上进行讨论。

联邦政府同意沙巴州提出的支付 40% 的要求，但仍有一些技术问题需要解决。

Kunak Lipids 植物营养素提取厂已接近完工，预计将于年底开始生产维生素 E，这对沙威京那巴鲁来说是一个积极的进展。

吉隆坡，9月8日讯——沙巴州要求获得其净收入的40%这一诉求，将是本周五由首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣主持的1963年马来西亚协议（MA63）会议上讨论的议题之一。

据《星报》报道，沙巴首席部长拿督斯里哈吉吉努尔表示，沙巴将主办这次会议，会议还将讨论 MA63 下未决的索赔和问题。

他今天在参观了位于库纳克的库纳克脂质有限公司植物营养素提取厂后发表了上述讲话。

哈吉吉表示，沙巴州政府感谢安华，因为在他执政期间，1963年《马来西亚协议》下的九项事宜得到了解决，其中包括将某些权力下放给沙巴州。

他说：“之前有四件事，所以总共解决了13件事。但是，还有其他一些事情需要处理，包括40%的款项支付。”

哈吉吉表示，联邦政府已同意沙巴州提出的支付 40% 款项的要求，但仍有几个技术问题需要解决。

他说：“他们已经同意了，但仍然存在一些问题，可能是技术问题。这是正常流程，因为有申诉程序，但这并不影响我们收到40%款项的决定。”

他表示，未决事项将在随后的MA63会议或谈判中再次提出审议。

另据报道，哈吉吉对 Kunak Lipids Sdn Bhd 植物营养素提取厂的进展表示欢迎，该厂即将完工，预计将于年底前开始生产维生素 E。

他表示，该工厂代表着沙威基纳巴卢集团的积极发展和下游业务，其生产中使用了棕榈基材料。

“我很高兴听到沙威京那巴鲁公司及其合作公司汇报说，生产维生素 E 的工厂已接近完工，并将于年底前开始生产维生素 E，”他说。

哈吉吉表示，该项目据信是马来西亚首个此类项目，可以帮助沙威基纳巴卢及其合作伙伴公司增加收入。
