Saifuddin Nasution Ismail warned against inflammatory remarks related to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) that could undermine the long-standing relationship between Sabah, Sarawak, and the federal government.
The home minister said the Madani government is at a crucial stage in implementing its commitments under the agreement through joint meetings chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof.
As such, he said the process should not be disrupted by statements or opinions that could create confusion or unease among the public.
“Inappropriate remarks can affect federal stability and erode public confidence in the ongoing MA63 resolution process.
“We’ve seen substantial progress. The government’s commitment must be evaluated based on the implementation of what has been agreed upon.
“Our focus is on what remains outstanding and the constraints that must be addressed,” he said.
Saifuddin was speaking to reporters after attending the handover of the Madani Adopted Village project to the Registry of Societies (ROS) at Kampung Sindang Baru, Sarawak, today.
Previously, the media reported that former law minister Zaid Ibrahim described Sarawak and Sabah as burdens to the federation and questioned the relevance of MA63.
In a podcast, Zaid suggested that the agreement be abolished and that Sarawak and Sabah be granted independence from Malaysia.
