GPS leaders say they want to see the proposals of Sarawak reflected in the amendments. FMTNews DewanRakyat

A new bill to restore the status of Sabah and Sarawak as equal partners with the peninsula is expected to be tabled in Parliament next year.

Speaking to FMT, she said she was confident that de facto law minister Liew Vui Keong had learnt a lesson from the previous attempt in April, where the Pakatan Harapan government failed to secure the two-thirds majority needed for the amendments. “The states in the federation shall be, pursuant to the Malaysia Agreement 1963, Malaya ; and the Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak.”“He should refer to our previous debates,” she added. “I look forward to seeing the amended provisions.”

He told FMT: “Article 160 must also be amended, particularly the definition of the federation, which was established pursuant to MA63. If these elements are met, there should be no qualms about having the new amendments passed in the coming parliamentary session next year.” Liew said the attorneys-general of the federal government and Sabah and Sarawak were looking at the proposed amendments, including their wording.
