Right to secession not allowed under Malaysia Agreement, says Attorney-General

KOTA KINABALU: The special rights for Sabah and Sarawak do not allow for the two states to secede from the federation of Malaysia and such calls are seditious.

Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail said it was stated under the 20-point (Sabah) and 18-point (Sarawak) Malaysia Agreement that there should be no right to secede from the federation.
