Salleh seeks clarity on extra parliamentary seats for Sabah, Sarawak

Former Sabah chief minister Salleh Said Keruak has urged the Malaysian government to clarify its plans for allocating extra parliamentary seats to Sabah and Sarawak. The former chief minister believes the government should disclose whether its goal is to achieve one-third representation for Sabah and Sarawak or simply increase their number of seats.

Salleh, who is also the Sabah Umno treasurer, argues that more seats in Peninsular Malaysia alone will not benefit the two states if the overall ratio remains unchanged. He emphasizes that the real concern should be the proportion of parliamentary seats held by Sabah and Sarawak, rather than the sheer number of seats added.
