KOTA KINABALU: A Bill to return Sabah and Sarawak to a position of equal status with peninsula Malaysia in the Federal Constitution is expected to be tabled in the next Parliament sitting, says Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said this Bill is, however, different from the one tabled during the Pakatan Harapan era in 2018.

“The amendment would define the status of all states in Malaysia in line with the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1957, MA63 and the position following Singapore’s exit in 1965,” Wan Junaidi explained. In addition, the MKMA63 also agreed on empowering both the Sabah and Sarawak governments to issue licenses for deep-sea fishing.

“Initially the request was put up by the Sabah government, but the council has approved the request and to be extended to Sarawak as well,” said Ongkili.
