KUCHING: The restoration of 35% of parliamentary seats to Sarawak and Sabah will give both states a bigger voice in forming federal laws, say Sarawak leaders.
Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) secretary-general Datuk Alexander Nanta Linggi said this was a significant move to maintain checks and balances in Parliament, particularly with regard to constitutional amendments affecting both states, which require a two-thirds majority to be passed.
