CM: No need for special Sabah assembly sitting on state rights in MA63 | Malay Mail

KOTA KINABALU, Dec 8 — There is no need for a special Sabah State Assembly session to discuss the state rights issue under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 , said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

“Even without a special sitting, nothing stops us from debating the issues here in the state assembly. It’s not that we don’t want a special sitting, but even before this, we have discussed this openly here. To me, it is enough to be done here. It has been going on all this while,” said Hajiji. Hajiji explained that a proposed amendment Bill tabled in Parliament will reinstate the position of Sabah and Sarawak to one of four parties in the formation of Malaysia, until the secession of Singapore, and an amendment in 1976 that relegated the two Borneo states to one of the 13 states.

Hajiji said that about 17 issues raised by Sabah were already resolved through the MA63 special committee.
