Political parties play up MA63 restoration


KUCHING: Federal Constitution amendments restoring Sarawak’s rights in accordance with the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) were spotlighted by political parties as campaigning for the Sarawak state election has hit the final stretch.

Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the ruling state coalition had been fighting for the amendments to protect and uphold Sarawak’s rights. In particular, the caretaker Chief Minister said Article 160(2) has now been amended to define “the federation” as one established by MA63.
