KOTA KINABALU: Sabah STAR is proposing that the Sabah assembly hold a special session to debate and resolve the words to be used in Article 1(2) and Article 160(2) of the Federal Constitution.

Sabah STAR president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said this was the best way forward because any changes to the wording of the Federal Constitution affecting the Bornean states should be agreed upon by the Sabah government and its legislative assembly, rather than the federal ministers.
