Kota Kinabalu: The Election Commission (EC) should accept the people’s aspirations by restoring a 35 per cent ratio for the overall number of parliamentary seats in East Malaysia, said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan.
He said this is because it was one of the guarantees and promises when Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya jointly formed Malaysia as equal partners.
“Not one region should have the power to wield two-thirds of Parliament seats. That is why I believe that the EC, as a wise and practical body, will accept this (proposal).
