Kota Kinabalu: The repeal of Article 6(7) of the Sabah Constitution appears to have been carried out hastily and improperly, and without wide consultation among Sabah legal circles.

Instead of outright repealing of Article 6(7), it should have been retained or further improved for clarity, if at all, said a founding Life Member of the Sabah Action Body Advocating Rights (Sabar) Bob Munang.

He said the repeal lacks solidity, fails to meet legal standards, is premature and lack sufficient justification.
