De facto law minister Liew Vui Keong says this will allow Sabah and Sarawak to no longer be perceived as mere states within Malaysia.
KOTA KINABALU: De facto law minister Liew Vui Keong will table a bill in Parliament next month to restore the wording of Article 1 of the Federal Constitution to what existed before 1976.
“The decision to amend the constitution was made in the federal Cabinet meeting on Thursday so that Sabah and Sarawak’s status as equal partners in the federation can be restored,” he said. With this amendment, he said Sabah and Sarawak will no longer be perceived as mere states within Malaysia.“Currently, the ruling PH government, together with its allies Warisan and Upko, have 135 seats in Parliament.
Regarding the progress of the process of implementing MA63, Liew said all related committees, from the working committees up to the steering committee, had been working hard to ensure all bases are covered.
