Proposal to brand Sabah, Sarawak as mainland Malaysia will be raised in Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (Dec 1)


KUALA LUMPUR: The question on whether the government intends to brand Sabah and Sarawak as mainland Malaysia, being the two states having a total land size of 198,354 sq km, or 60 per cent of Malaysia's land, is expected to be answered during the question and answer session in the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (Dec 1).

According to the Order Paper, the matter will be raised through a question by Datuk Seri Madius Tangau (Upko-Tuaran) to the Prime Minister considering that the Federation of Malaya, or Peninsular Malaysia only totalled 132,265 sq km, or only 40 per cent of Malaysia's size.
