KUCHING – Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recently engaged in discussions concerning the Central Database Hub (Padu).

In disclosing this, Deputy Minister in the Premier’s Department (Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali said no further deliberations on the matter took place with Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli up to today.

“So far, there hasn’t been a meeting concerning Padu with Rafizi.

“Nevertheless, a dialogue has transpired between our premier and the prime minister regarding the Padu issue, and we are currently scrutinising its implementation in Sarawak,” she told reporters at her Aidilfitri open house at Wisma Sabati, Jalan Bako, here, today.

When questioned about the latest developments concerning the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), Sharifah reiterated her unwavering commitment to its implementation, with a steadfast focus on Sarawak’s interests.

“Regarding MA63, this matter is ongoing, and we never deny our struggle in MA63 as it is the foundation of GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak), which is Sarawak first.”

Emphasising the importance of patience and perseverance in addressing MA63 related demands, she said: “We will continue this regardless of whether we make progress quickly or slowly.

“The key is maintaining positive relations with the federal government, and discussions will persist.”

Among those present at the open house were Abang Johari and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. – April 11, 2024
