As a partner who contributed so much to the nation\u2019s income, PH government\u2019s decision to delay the fair revenue sharing amongst partners is an insult to Sarawak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe viewed the financial minister\u2019s statement about waiting for better days before giving us a share as disrespectful, and clearly showed his true insincerity. Prior to the 14th General Election, the nation can hear Lim emphasizing on honoring Sarawak\u2019s rights and interests enshrined in MA63 with proof from his interviews, videos and public ceramah in Sarawak\u201d, Kho said.<\/p>\n<p>PH Sarawak during the election promised to return the 50% tax collected in Sarawak back to Sarawak but now they sang a different tune. \u201cIf the Malaysia minister of finance was unable to figure out a fair revenue sharing formula, and incapable of improving the fiscal position, perhaps he should consider offloading his responsibilities by returning the financial autonomy back to Sarawak,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23148\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23148\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/SUPP-Women.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23148\" alt=\"From left, SUPP Kota Sentosa Branch Women Section Deputy Chairman Wong Pick Ang, SUPP Women Chief Kho Teck Wan, SUPP Women Section Advisor Datin Jennifer Alice Chee Moinie and Committee Sim Bee Kim.\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/SUPP-Women-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/SUPP-Women-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/SUPP-Women-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From left, SUPP Kota Sentosa Branch Women Section Deputy Chairman Wong Pick Ang, SUPP Women Chief Kho Teck Wan, SUPP Women Section Advisor Datin Jennifer Alice Chee Moinie and Committee Sim Bee Kim.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The country\u2019s revenue should be shared fairly amongst partners who contributed to the national income, regardless of the fiscal position, said SUPP Women Central today.
