Constitutional amendment must include ‘pursuant to MA63’ before GPS will vote for it, says Nancy Shukri


KUCHING: The proposed constitutional amendment to restore Sarawak and Sabah as equal partners in Malaysia, which will be re-tabled in March, must include the words "pursuant to the Malaysia Agreement 1963", says a Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) lawmaker.

Batang Sadong MP Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri (pic) said the phrase should be included in the main clause of Article 1(2) of the Federal Constitution and not in the explanatory notes.
