Proposal to amend Sabah, Sarawak seat quota requires direct discussions, says DPM Fadillah


KUCHING: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof has emphasised that the proposal to amend the one-third or 35% parliamentary seat quota for Sabah and Sarawak requires direct discussions, particularly with members of parliament from Peninsular Malaysia.

He noted that a similar approach was adopted by the Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak Tun Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, during his tenure as Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Parliament and Law), as part of efforts to amend Article 160 of the Federal Constitution.
