KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government strongly rejects any claim on Sabah that is akin to questioning the state's sovereignty in the Federation of Malaysia.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the state echoes the Federal Government's strong stand not to entertain the latest claim by a group calling themselves the United Tausug Citizens (UTC).
He added that the claim by UTC or any group on Sabah is nothing but a frivolous attempt to disrupt the state's peace and it is tantamount to threatening the sovereignty
of the nation.
"Sabah has the backing of the global community on this matter.
"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 by the state government or the people.
"Even the claim by the heir of the defunct Sulu Sultanate ended with the imprisonment of the arbitrator, Dr Gonzalo Stampa," he said in a statement. - NST
