KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 — The Federal Government will hold negotiations with the Sarawak state government this year to review the amount of the special grant under Article 112D of the Federal Constitution, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said.

MOF said the talks aim to establish a new method for calculating future special grants, taking into account Sarawak’s needs in covering state service costs and the Federal Government’s financial position, in line with Article 112D.
