MA63 Council to meet

Kuala Lumpur: The Special Council on Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is expected to convene for the first time this month to discuss and decide on matters that are important and need to be expedited and resolved.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Sabah and Sarawak Affairs) Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili (pic) said the Special Council would also look into the immediate execution of decisions made by the previous Cabinet Committee, especially the low-hanging fruit.

“This proves the sincerity of the Federal Government in executing the rights of Sabah and Sarawak as provided by law and enshrined in the Constitution,” he said in a written reply to Yamani Hafez Musa (Bersatu-Sipitang) who wanted to know the recent development on the Special Council on MA63.
