Armizan calls for MA63 commitments to be fulfilled, not renegotiated
The GRS secretary-general says the terms of the agreement expressly demonstrate that MA63 did not cease to have effect once the Federal Constitution was enacted.
Gabungan Rakyat Sabah secretary-general Armizan Mohd Ali emphasized that the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) must be fully executed, rather than replaced with a new agreement. In a Malaysia Day message, Ali stressed the importance of understanding the value and significance of this day by acknowledging the entire history of Malaysia's formation.
As domestic trade and cost of living minister, Ali pointed out that MA63 obligates all parties who signed it to take necessary measures to fulfill the assurances, commitments, and recommendations outlined in the Inter-Governmental Committee Report, which are not already included in the Federal Constitution. He asserted that MA63 remains a relevant and binding document, with its commitments and responsibilities applicable throughout history.
Ali urged the nation to not only comprehend the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1948, the social compact among the three major communities, and Malaya's independence in 1957, but also to fully embrace the foundation of the Federation of Malaysia - MA63.
