Kerajaan saya tak pernah ketepi tuntutan Sabah, Sarawak, kata PM
Anwar Ibrahim berkata kerajaannya yang pertama menganggap tuntutan Malaysia Timur, termasuk dalam Perjanjian Malaysia 1963, sebagai agenda nasional.
Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim has stated that his government has never downplayed the concerns of Sabah and Sarawak. Speaking to the press, the Prime Minister mentioned that his first administration considered the issues of East Malaysia, including the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), as a national agenda. The PKR president emphasized that the party never viewed MA63 as an issue that only pertains to Sabah and Sarawak; rather, it is a national agenda.
He believes that for the nation to thrive, the Peninsula must collaborate with Sabah and Sarawak to move forward together, as he declared during the PKR National Congress 2026 in Kuala Lumpur.
Anwar stressed that the government's approach focusing on MA63 as a national agenda should not be measured by political gains or the number of votes gained, as the mainland populace generally does not consider such issues when casting their votes. He stated that there is still room for improvement in implementing MA63, and the current government remains committed to addressing all outstanding matters related to MA63 before the end of this year.
Out of the 13 issues in MA63, 11 have been resolved, while five are pending, although final decisions have been made. Four issues are still under discussion, while five have been referred to the highest level in Putrajaya for further consideration. One of the key achievements in MA63 is the transfer of Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd to the Sabah government.
