KUCHING, May 18 — DAP’s Padungan assemblyman Chong Chieng Jen today said the Sarawak Land Code Bill relating to the control of state airspace may run afoul of the Federal Constitution.“We must look at our Federal Constitution. I have some reservations about this aspect of the amendment to the Bill,” he said during the debate on the Sarawak Land Code Bill tabled by state Deputy Minister of Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali this morning.
Chong said spectrum falls under Item 10 of the Federal List of the Ninth Schedule concerning communication and transport, including airways, aircraft and air navigation, civil aerodromes and provisions for the safety of aircraft. “If the state government wishes to legislate or to obtain its rights over spectrum passing through Sarawak airspace, then the proper way is to table an amendment to the Federal Constitution in Parliament first before legislating a Bill claiming that we have a right.
