Sabah STAR backs Sarawak’s stand on Borneo states’ rights over land and resources


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah STAR fully supports Sarawak’s position on the rights of Borneo states over their land, seabed, subsoil, and continental shelf, describing these as fundamental to the formation of Malaysia, says party president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

“These rights were the conditions upon which Sabah agreed to form Malaysia. They were neither gifts from the Federal Government nor temporary concessions. They are permanent, constitutional entitlements that no Act of Parliament can unilaterally erase,” he said.
