RM600 million ‘plucked from nowhere', Sabah owed billions: Yong
Published on: Sunday, June 01, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jun 01, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Former Chief Minister Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee ( pic ) has criticised the federal government for failing to return Sabah's constitutional 40 per cent revenue entitlement, despite Inland Revenue Board (IRB) collecting RM5.7 billion in 2024 and targeting RM6.2 billion this year from the State. Yong, also SAPP President, said the average of RM6 billion collected annually from Sabah means the state is owed at least RM2.4 billion each year, yet receives only an interim payment of RM600 million, a figure he described as 'plucked from nowhere.' He also questioned why the City Hall (DBKK) is aiding IRB in targeting small-time hawkers for tax enforcement while Sabah's legitimate revenue remains unpaid, calling the move a contradiction of DBKK's role in uplifting local livelihoods. He said these hawkers and micro businesses are not major tax evaders but struggling informal traders facing rising costs and reduced purchasing power, warning that such enforcement damages economic resilience. Yong urged the federal government to immediately honour the 40 per cent entitlement and called for DBKK to cease acting as a federal tax collector until proper revenue-sharing is restored. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Bridges collapse in 2 Russian regions bordering Ukraine, 7 dead
Two bridges collapsed in different Russian regions bordering Ukraine, derailing trains and killing at least seven people and injuring dozens, Russian authorities said early on Sunday, while a Russian politician called Kyiv a 'terrorist enclave'. Reuters could not independently confirm whether the incidents in the neighbouring regions were related. The areas in Russia's south have been subject to frequent attacks by Ukraine during the war that Russia started with its full-scale invasion more than three years ago. Seven people were killed and 69 injured when a highway bridge collapsed onto railway tracks, derailing an approaching train in the Bryansk region late on Saturday, Russian emergency ministry and regional officials said. Russia's Railways initially posted on the Telegram messaging app that the Bryansk bridge collapse was the result of an 'illegal interference in the operation of transport', but the post was later removed. Bryansk Governor Alexander Bogomaz said on Telegram that 47 people were hospitalised. Three children were among those injured with one in serious condition, he said. The collapse in the Kursk region occurred early on Sunday while a freight train was crossing the bridge, Alexander Khinshtein, acting governor of the region, and Russian Railways said on Telegram. 'Part of the train fell onto a road underneath the bridge,' Khinshtein said. He added that the locomotive caught fire, which was quickly extinguished. One of the drivers sustained leg injuries, and he and the team operating the train were taken to a local hospital, Khinshtein added. He posted a photo of derailed carriages on a damaged bridge over a road. Andrei Klishas, a senior member of the Federation Council, Russia's upper chamber of parliament, said on the Telegram messaging app that the incident in Bryansk shows that 'Ukraine has long lost the attributes of a state and has turned into a terrorist enclave.' Russia's Baza Telegram channel, which often publishes information from sources in the security services and law enforcement, reported, without providing evidence, that according to preliminary information, the Bryansk bridge had been blown up. Prominent Russian military blogger Semyon Pegov, who uses the name War Gonzo, called the Bryansk collapse 'sabotage.' Reuters could not independently verify the Baza or Pegov's reports. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Since the war began in February 2022, there have been continued cross-border shelling, drone strikes and covert raids from Ukraine into the Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod regions that border Ukraine. Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations said on Telegram that efforts to find and rescue victims in the Bryansk incident continued throughout the night, and that some 180 personnel were involved in the operation. Among those killed was the locomotive driver, Russia's state news agencies reported, citing medics. Social media pictures and videos showed passengers trying to help others climb out of the Bryansk train's damaged carriages in the dark and firefighters looking for ways to reach passengers. The train was going from the town of Klimovo to Moscow, Russian Railways said. It collided with the collapsed bridge in the area of a federal highway in the Vygonichskyi district of the Bryansk region, Bogomaz said. The district lies some 100 km (60 miles) from the border with Ukraine. U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Moscow and Kyiv to work together on a deal to end the war, and Russia has proposed a second round of face-to-face talks with Ukrainian officials in Istanbul on Monday. Ukraine has not committed to attending the talks, saying it first needed to see Russia's proposals, while a leading U.S. senator warned Moscow it would be 'hit hard' by new U.S. sanctions.
