KOTA KINABALU, Nov 7 (Bernama) — Sabah will continue to maintain a constructive and respectful working relationship with Putrajaya and will also continue to fight for its rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), said the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Presidential Council.
In a statement, the council said it also stands firm and expresses its support for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister, and is even proud of his achievements in raising the country’s dignity on the international stage.
It said the Prime Minister’s approach, which is based on inclusiveness, openness, and concern for the aspirations of the people of Sabah, is highly appreciated, with the GRS-led Sabah government successfully obtaining 13 out of 29 MA63 claims from the federal government.
“In this regard, we assure Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, Sabah will continue to maintain a constructive and respectful working relationship with Putrajaya,” said the statement.
The GRS Presidential Council reaffirmed its absolute and uncompromising determination to fight for the benefits and rights of over three million Sabahans under the Federal Constitution and MA63.
It said that following the High Court’s decision here regarding Sabah’s 40 per cent rights, the Chief Minister had instructed the Ministry of Finance, the Sabah Economic Planning Unit (EPU), and the State Attorney-General’s Chambers to carefully examine the reasons for the judgement.
The state government is also prepared to hold meaningful discussions with the federal government in line with the court order to review and finalise the agreement on the amount Sabah is entitled to receive.
