Kota Kinabalu: Parti Warisan (Warisan) Supreme Council Member Mazliwati Abdul Malek suggests Sabah Day be celebrated on Aug 31 and not on Sept 1.
Mazliwati was responding to Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan who said the State Cabinet discussed the date to mark the day the colonial administration official ceased its role on Aug 31, 1963, resulting in a two-week self-rule before the formation of Malaysia on Sept 16.
Jeffrey said a final decision had yet to be made on the date, as Aug 31 was already a holiday to mark Malaya’s independence, which would clash with Sabah Day.
