Chief Minister Shafie Apdal says this can be done once the Federal Constitution is amended. shafieapdal

Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal says support of MPs was needed to amend the Federal Constitution.

Chief Minister Shafie Apdal said the recognition of the amendment would be done when the time came, as a means towards ensuring that matters sealed in the Malaysian Agreement 1963 could be realised as best as possible for the benefit of the people of Sabah. On March 8, de-facto law minister Liew Vui Keong announced that the Cabinet had agreed to amend Article 1 of the Federal Constitution to turn Sabah, Sarawak and the Peninsula into partners.

Shafie said what the people of Malaysia in Sabah wanted was nothing more than for what agreed upon in MA63 to be fulfilled including in the constitution, namely, recognising the positions of Sabah and Sarawak as territories as in the past.
