(5) Where by the operation of paragraph 62 any income of a person from a source falls to be treated as income for the year of assessment 1967[#8260]68, that income--

(a) shall be added to his statutory income from that source for the year of assessment 1967[#8260]68; or

(b) where he has no statutory income from that source for that year-- 

(i) if there is an amount of loss in relation to that source (being a loss which would fall to be deducted under section 32 of the Sabah Ordinance, but for its repeal, in ascertaining the assessable income for that year) the amount of that loss shall be reduced by the amount of that income or where that income exceeds that loss the excess shall be deemed to be statutory income from that source for that year;
