Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah government is maintaining its stand in rejecting the Territorial Sea Act 2012, which limits the state’s maritime boundary to only three nautical miles, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

Reiterating its stand at the Malaysia Agreement 1963 Implementation Action Council meeting in Kuching, Sarawak, on Friday, Hajiji said the Act had impeded Sabah’s ability to impose its own laws on matters beyond three nautical miles at sea. This includes Sabah state sales tax, especially involving petroleum products, and the state authorities’ power on immigration issues.

Meanwhile, Hajiji said the state government welcomes the announcement by Anwar that all outstanding issues in MA63 have passed the discussion process and are now in the implementation stage.“The only issue is on technicalities, and we look forward to working with the federal government to ensure all our demands are fully resolved. The Sabah government has complete confidence and trust that under Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s leadership, Sabah’s MA63 demands will be resolved amicably soon.
