KOTA KINABALU: Sabah politicians described the bill to amend the constitution tabled in Parliament today as inadequate and a “mere rush job” by the federal government.
“Only then will Parliament have the political and socio-cultural legitimacy to pass the proposed amendment.”He urged the federal government not to be hasty. “We should be able to study all aspects of the proposed amendment before it is tabled in Parliament. Therefore, the deliberations on the Article 1 amendment should be deferred to the next sitting of Parliament,” he said.
He accused de facto law minister Liew Vui Keong of insulting Sabahans over the “deception” and urged the Batu Sapi MP to withdraw the proposed amendment to allow for the necessary changes to reflect the original wording.“Sabah and Sarawak MPs must reject a watered-down draft which offers nothing except a mockery of the PH election promises and is an insult to the intelligence of ordinary Sabahans and Sarawakians.
“When interpreting a constitutional provision, the structure of the Article is as important as the words it contains. This is because one can discern the meaning, intention and purpose of a constitutional provision from the way it is set out and how certain words or sections are emphasised,” he said.As such, Fuad said it was important, in the case of Article 1, that any amendment should reflect that the federation of Malaysia comprised three nation-states, namely Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak.
