Christina Liew says she will discuss the proposal with the CM so that it can be brought up to MOF.

Sabah is looking to discuss keeping up to 50 percent of revenue from the tourist departure levy, which comes into force next month.

She added she was unsure how its implementation would affect the number of visitor arrivals in the state. “... This is another example of how the federal government and ministries should always consult with the state minister first. I was in the dark, I didn’t know," she said. On Friday, Putrajaya announced that beginning Sept 1, passengers leaving the country would be charged a levy of between RM8 and RM150. The rates vary depending on the destination and flying class.
