KOTA KINABALU: School History books must include an accurate account of the formation of Malaysia in 1963, says Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).

Its Youth vice chief Yong Yit Jee said the current history syllabus continues to say that Malaysia's independence was Aug 31, 1957 with little priority given to the independence of Sabah and Sarawak in 1963 and its subsequent entry into the formation of Malaysia.

He said for the first time, the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah -led state government has made the decision to officially celebrate Sabah Day on Aug 31. “It is important for our future leaders and pillars to understand the accurate and factual basis of MA63. For example, many people, including Sabahans, do not know the true history of the formation of Malaysia.
