KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is on the right track of having 90 percent local workforce in the State Federal civil service by 2020, Special Tasks Minister Datuk Seri Teo Chee Kang said. “The state government is committed to address the need to restore the special rights of people of Sabah,” he said. “When it comes to the interpretation, it is not the form but the substance (of the document) that Sabah and Sarawak have special rights and cannot be questioned. In Nov 2015, the state government has formed the State Rights Committee to study the agreement. Their inputs were filed in the Sabah Special Rights report which was later handed to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in May.
