Malaysia will accelerate talks with Sabah regarding the state's 40 percent revenue claim after elections produce a new government, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced during parliamentary question time. The federal administration convened a special Cabinet session to review guidance from the Attorney-General before determining whether to appeal a High Court ruling that found Sabah entitled to four-tenths of collections generated within its borders.

While preliminary discussions have begun, Anwar explained that substantive negotiations cannot advance until Sabah establishes its post-election administration. The premier indicated he would direct the swift resolution of outstanding issues under the Malaysia Agreement 1963, potentially scheduling intensive talks during December's opening week. A technical committee led by the second deputy prime minister has already engaged with Sabah and Sarawak representatives on the matter, contradicting suggestions that prior consultations never occurred.
