KOTA KINABALU: Former Dewan Rakyat speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin (pic) says it is a waste of time for the Sabah government to push for the constitutional amendment to Article 1(2) that aims to restore Sabah and Sarawak's status as equal partners in the Federation of Malaysia.

The veteran Sabah politician instead said leaders should focus on "pushing for a new deal" where they know exactly what they are asking for, as calls for equal partnership at present do not have proper basis.
