KUALA LUMPUR: The commitment and efforts of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in resolving issues connected to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) have been well received by the people of Sabah and Sarawak, said Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffery Kitingan.
He said the MA63 issues needed to be resolved because the history of Malaysia’s formation in 1957 was deemed to have overlooked the aspiration of Sabah and Sarawak and affected development in the two states.
"When asked about the MA63 special committee, the 10th Prime Minister wondered why the need for the committee when MA63 should just be implemented. This is the Prime Minister we have been looking for. Has the real Malaysia has arrived? The rise of our country.
"In fact, now we are proud to have a leader from Borneo, Sarawak who has become Deputy Prime Minister. Malaysia is a home for everyone, the majority group supporting the minority and vice versa,” he said at the ‘Bicara Rakyat’ session entitled ‘Membina Negara Bangsa’ (Building Our Nation) at the Unity Government National Convention 2023 at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur today.
