Proposed amendments on Bill did not reflect Sabah, Sarawak as equal partners, says Kitingan


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah STAR president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan (pic) says he is having second thoughts about the wording on the Bill to amend the Federal Constitution to reinstate Sabah and Sarawak as equal partners.

Kitingan said he has written to de facto law minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, to give his views that he did not agree with the words on definition of the Federation in the Bill that was tabled in Parliament on Oct 26.
