International Trade and Industry Minister Darell Leiking looks at handicraft products put up in conjunction with the Technopreneur Development Programme in Penampang, Sabah, today.
Leiking said the one-third representation topic is not part of the 21 issues discussed by the special Cabinet committee to review the implementation of MA63. “I think this is something we have to consider; how we reach there is another thing. We will deal with it when the time comes,” he told reporters after an event in Penampang, near here, today.
He said Putrajaya must get the support of Sabah and Sarawak, especially when it wants to amend the Federal Constitution, “instead of confining the support to Malaya”.
