‘It’s devolution of power’

PETALING JAYA: Federal ministers from Sarawak say the state’s proposal to hold its own Year Six assessment exams is a form of “devolution of power” as stated in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri (pic) said the proposal was mainly to delegate power to the state to assist in the streaming of Science and Arts students when they enter secondary schools.
