KOTA KINABALU: Sabah opposition Parti Warisan backs the state government’s move to have one-third parliamentary representation reinstated for each Bornean state under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).

Party president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal told reporters it was important for both Sabah and Sarawak to get back their respective one-third representation as there had been an imbalance in Parliament following the exit of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965.
