COMMENT | Negotiate an MA63+ to affirm Borneo, decentralise M'sia

COMMENT | We hold that Malaysia is an ongoing project whose sustainability must be endeavoured by every generation to fulfil its promise of wellbeing for all Malaysians from East to West, from Sabah to Perlis.

We note that our founding parents had discussed the need for a new Federal Constitution, but this was not possible due to the urgency of decolonisation for Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore.

We understand the growing perception among Sabahans and Sarawakians that the federal government’s approach to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) negotiations reflects procrastination rather than a true commitment.

We would like to underline several facts that may facilitate a better negotiation on the realisation of the MA63.
