KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Government fully supports the Unity Government’s firm stand in defending the country’s sovereignty and dismissing any demand over Sabah,
said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor.
“Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has made Malaysia’s stand clear, which is
similar to our stand all this while,” he said.
Hajiji said Sabahans have chosen to jointly form the Malaysia Federation through the
Malaysian Agreement 1963 (MA63) therefore, any external claims against the state of
Sabah will not be recognised at all by the people.
He reiterated that Sabah has always been an integral part of Malaysia and that the
United Nations (UN) and the international community have recognised Sabah as part of
Malaysia since the formation of the Federation of Malaysia on September 16, 1963.
The Chief Minister said the State Government also fully supported Wisma Putra’s action
and statement that the viral video on social media, which disputed the sovereignty of the
state of Sabah, contained baseless and misleading contents.
“We are confident that the Foreign Ministry will be able to investigate the matter
thoroughly in cooperation with the relevant ministries and agencies,” he said.-pr/BNN
