KOTA KINABALU: Talks on the return of rights to Sabah and Sarawak as enshrined under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) are ongoing, including on the autonomy to hire and place public-sector education and healthcare workers in both states, said Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

The Deputy Prime Minister said the challenge faced by the Bornean states presently was that such decisions were made in Putrajaya, adding this may not suit the actual needs of Sabah and Sarawak.
