Borneo states' request for seats aligns with intent of founding fathers, says PBS sec-gen


KOTA KINABALU: The Election Commission (EC) should be open to proposals from Sabah and Sarawak to increase the number of parliamentary seats for the Borneo states.

Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) secretary-general Datuk Julita Majungki said on Monday (Sept 19) the EC, as an independent body, should take a serious view of the proposal for the two states to have at least 35% of the Dewan Rakyat's 222 seats.
