Shafie: MA63 not a social contract, should not be trivialised, politicised | Malay Mail

09 April 2019

KOTA KINABALU, April 9 — The Malaysia Agreement 1963 is not a social contract but a United Nations-recognised international document for the formation of Malaysia and should not be viewed lightly, said Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal. “The MA63 is the only legacy from our fathers of Independence, who wanted Malaysia’s prosperity to continue, and is the only official document that gives legitimacy to the existence of Sabah and, thus, the formation of Malaysia itself.

The statement was part of the essence of Mohd Shafie’s speech when debating the second reading of the Constitution Bill 2019, aimed at restoring Sabah and Sarawak’s status as equal partners in the Federation of Malaysia, in the Dewan Rakyat today.
