Sarawak has secured full resolution of 13 issues under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) and five others have reached partial or interim settlements, Premier Abang Johari Openg announced. The state aims to continue discussions with the Federal Government on outstanding matters, which will remain based on the Federal Constitution and MA63.
The Premier praised the 7.3% increase in Sarawak's federal allocation to RM16.2 billion under Budget 2027, a 1.1 billion RM boost from RM15.1 billion this year. The transfer of Bintulu Port's status and management powers to Sarawak, effective since September 1, was also highlighted as a recent development.
