KOTA KINABALU: Members of Parliament (MPs) from Sabah and Sarawak support the formation of a Borneo caucus to cooperate politically, in order to have a single voice to strengthen Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) claims.

The platform would also be useful to voice who Borneo states MPs would support as the next prime minister, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Sabah and Sarawak Affairs) Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili in a statement.
