Using 'Borneo States' term a long overdue move, says Sarawak minister


KUCHING: Using the term "Borneo States" in reference to Sarawak and Sabah is a long overdue move which fixes the perspective of the Malaysian Agreement 1963, says Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.

The Sarawak lawmaker and PBB vice-president said after the formation of Malaysia in 1963, Sabah and Sarawak have been wrongly deemed as just another state instead of being equal partners with Peninsular Malaysia.
