KUCHING: Close ties between the Sarawak and Federal Government are vital for development and the restoration of rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), says Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

He said Sarawak still needed financial allocations and ongoing commitment from Putrajaya to implement development projects.
