Hajiji also said that he has instructed the Sabah Attorney General to scrutinise and review the ongoing legal proceedings and if necessary, to correct any misguided statement that differs from the state's clear and formal position.
“The state government sees the initiative by the SLS in a positive light that is not partisan and not political in the common furtherance of the constitutional arrangements when Sabah formed Malaysia in 1963. “I assure the rakyat of Sabah that we will not stop in our relentless pursuit of all the state rights due under MA63 and the Federal Constitution. This is our uncompromising and absolute position,” he said.
