SEREMBAN (Bernama): Umno and Barisan Nasional MPs were the cause for the Federal Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2019 regarding Sabah and Sarawak failing to get two-thirds majority support in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (April 9), says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

SEREMBAN : Umno and Barisan Nasional MPs were the cause for the Federal Constitution Bill 2019 regarding Sabah and Sarawak failing to get two-thirds majority support in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday , says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim .

Anwar, who is Port Dickson MP, said the government needed 148 votes for two-thirds majority, but could only garner 138 votes after MPs from the opposition bloc abstained from voting on the bill."It's all right, but we can all see the bill was very clear, that's all,” he said at a PH rally in conjunction with the Rantau state by-election here on Tusday night.

The bill, which was tabled and debated for nearly seven hours, was part of efforts by the government to amend the Federal Constitution to restore the original status of Sabah and Sarawak as enshrined in the agreement for the formation of Malaysia in 1963.However, it did not get through block voting which saw 138 MPs supporting the amendment, none rejecting and 59 abstaining.

According to Anwar, who is also PKR president, the amendment to the Federal Constitution was among the promises made in PH's manifesto for the 14th General Election last year. “I am satisfied, I stood up to support Tun Dr Mahathir's motion for PH because we fulfilled our promise, and that promise is in line with the Federation of Malaysia Agreement 1963,” he said. – Bernama

Bullshite la. Your hastiness and disregards of procedure made that failure.

So that means BN was never gonna look into MA63 la. Simple as that.

Blame game again. 'Dictatorial' or 'authoritarian' rule displayed by current govt is certainly reminiscent of our 4th PM's tenure when most things can b jz bulldozed thru.

If it is only to reinstate to the original MA63 treaty agreement as per Agreement doc UN no 10670 read together it the intergovernmental report don’t need the 2/3 ? This are all the “wayang kulit” To blind those who don’t understand this treaty ? Spirit and conditions !!!
