KOTA KINABALU: Any plan to revive the Sabah-Federal Development Department (JPPS) and Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK) is a step backwards, says Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

The Chief Minister said reviving JPPS was like going back to what the state had been working on previously in getting the state rights according to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
