Selesai formula satu pertiga sebelum tambah kerusi, kata Nancy
Menteri pembangunan wanita, keluarga dan masyarakat berkata perbincangan lanjut untuk menentukan kaedah sesuai perlu dibuat antara Sarawak, Sabah dan Putrajaya.
Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim reportedly expressed the government's agreement in principle to increase the representation ratio of Sabah and Sarawak in the Dewan Rakyat, in alignment with their geographical position in the formation of Malaysia under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). However, the focus was initially placed on increasing the number of seats in the Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) before tackling the issue of the parliamentary formula.
Nancy Shukri, the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development, stated that she and several Sarawak leaders, including those from the Jemaah Menteri, have raised this issue. She mentioned this alongside Alexander Nanta Linggi, the Minister of Labor, in a cabinet meeting. The minister emphasized that the method of implementing the one-third formula needs to be discussed in terms of legislation.
She further stated that discussions for determining a suitable method should be held between the Sarawak Chief Minister, the Sabah Chief Minister, and the federal government.
