Datuk Ewon Benedick has resigned from the Cabinet as Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development Minister, saying he disagrees with the Attorney General Chamber's position on Sabah's constitutional right to 40% of federal revenue.

We discuss what this resignation means for Federal-Sabah relations and whether a potential cabinet reshuffle is in the air.
• GISBH leaders get off on alternative charges: Criticism is mounting over the downgraded charges and backdated sentences given to GISBH leaders, after over 500 children were rescued from its welfare homes last year, some reportedly abused, others taught to abuse.
