KUCHING – Sarawak will continue to demand one-third of the country’s total parliamentary seats as enshrined in the 1963 Malaysia Agreement (MA63), said Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister's Department (Law, MA63, and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Syeed Aman Ghazali.
She said it would be welcomed if the federal government could meet Sarawak’s demands before the 15th general election (GE15).
“Whether (the demands can be met) before the election (GE15) or after, I do not know, but we have always brought this matter up, to the highest level and in Parliament,” she said after attending the “Let’s Talk With Wanita Pemadam” programme at the Sarawak library in Petra Jaya here today.
“If not, we will continue the struggle (until the demand is met),” she added.
Sarawak currently has 31 out of 222 seats in Parliament. – Bernama, February 20, 2022
