PM Anwar says will consult Malay Rulers on Sabah, Sarawak status
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said he will refer the status of Sarawak and Sabah in the Federation of Malaysia to the Malay Rulers as the matter will involve amending the Federal Constitution.
He said the principle under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) was that the country contained the federated Malay states, Sarawak, and Sabah.
“This is the terminology on technical positions because the peninsula consists of states, and then Sarawak and Sabah.
“I certainly refer to this view as it involves the Federal Constitution and therefore, the views of the Malay Rulers are important before it is submitted to the federal Cabinet for discussion and consideration.
