The Sarawak Consultative Committee on MA63 says it will support an amendment to the constitution only if it benefits the state.
Sarawak Consultative Committee on MA63 chairman Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar and members of the committee after their meeting in Kuching today.
The committee’s chairman, Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar, said the amendment must contain substantive improvements to the rights and interests of the state and not merely for the “purpose of window dressing”. Asfia, who is also the Sarawak speaker, said the committee has yet to view the bill despite de facto law minister Liew Vui Keong announcing that its first reading will be on April 3, followed by the second reading on April 9.
“As the discussions on the review of MA63 have been classified as secret, we are not at liberty to divulge the contents of what is being discussed at the moment,” he said.
