KOTA KINABALU (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - The status of Sabah and Sarawak as equal partners in the nation will be restored under the New Malaysia and Pakatan Harapan federal government, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Sunday (Sept 16).

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said this is part of the process that will be implemented once the review on the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) has been completed.

In the past, Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore, and the Federation of Malaya had agreed to form a bigger family called Malaysia, said Dr Mahathir.


"During the formation of Malaysia on Sept 16, 1963, in the agreement that we call MA63, the four regions merged as equal partners. However, Malaysia has gone through a winding course since then and two years after its formation, Singapore exited. The years that followed also changed the status of Sabah and Sarawak from equal partners to states within Malaysia," he said.

"The New Malaysia and the Pakatan government is aware of this and will restore the status of equal partners to Sabah and Sarawak," said Dr Mahathir at the Malaysia Day celebrations at Padang Merdeka in Kota Kinabalu on Sunday (Sept 16).

He said the restoration of the status of Sabah and Sarawak as outlined in MA63 will provide a solid foundation to strengthen the relationship between Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia.

"The development needs of Sabah and Sarawak need to be given attention as there are still districts that are backwards and with poor infrastructure.

Leaders of the four Sarawak parties that have left BN to form their own alliance include PBB president Abang Johari Tun Openg (centre, in brown jacket), PBB deputy president Douglas Uggah Embas (in grey jacket), and PRS president James Masing (on Mr

"The study on MA63 will also surely give rise to the need to review several things that were previously implemented.

"Our hope is that the reviews will be done with the spirit of loyalty, mutual respect and high tolerance amongst us," he said.

Without such a spirit, the unity as a nation and one people will be eroded and the beauty enjoyed together all this while will disappear in the future, said Dr Mahathir.

The move announced is part of Pakatan's promise to restore lost rights under MA63, which Sabah, Sarawak, Malaya and Singapore entered into to form Malaysia. Singapore separated from Malaysia in 1965.

Under the original Schedule 1(2) of the Constitution following the formation of Malaysia in 1963, Dr Mahathir said that the states of the federation would be the Federation of Malaya (with the names of the 11 states of Malaya placed in bracket), Singapore and Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak.

In 1976, the Constitution was amended to downgrade Sabah and Sarawak as the 12th and 13th state of Malaysia instead of equal partners.

"The Pakatan federal government will surely not forget its duties to Sabah and Sarawak and will find a way to develop the infrastructure according to the people's needs and demands," he added.

[Hypocrite-The]

The best is Sabah n Sarawak go independent. Their indigenous ppl are not m&ds. N they have enough natural resources to develop their own economy. Both states have been exploited by the m&ds n umno since the formation. They should have left when singkieland left but they were too useless to manage their own affairs. Now is time to right the wrongs.

There have an influx of m&d settlers for decades as planned by UMNO. The majority of the indigneous in Sabah and Sarawak have been reduced and I doubt they are still the majority. There are probably more muslim m&d than natives. So Sabah and Sarawak are now fully integrated as states of malaysia, not partners. Changing of title by mad hatter will make no difference.

Even the governor of Sarawak has been a minority m&d muslim instead of a real native non-muslim sarawakian for decades. Sabah and Sarawak have been annexed or colonized successfully by peninsula malaysia without firing a single shot.
