Accordibn to Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas), the meeting served as an initial coordination and consolidation step ahead of the MTPMA63 meeting scheduled to take place at Parliament today, which will be chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof.

Among those in attendance were Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts  Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Minister of Education, Innovation and Talent Development Roland Sagah Wee Inn, Deputy Minister in the Premier’s Department (Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations)  Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali, Sarawak Attorney-General Saferi Ali and Deputy Sarawak Secretary (Economic Planning and Development)  Dr Muhammad Abdullah Zaidel.

The meeting serves as a vital platform to ensure that every technical and legal issue regarding the implementation of MA63 is thoroughly scrutinised, thereby strengthening Sarawak's unified stance in fighting for the state's rights and interests at the Federal level.

This early coordination step reflects the Sarawak government's ongoing commitment to ensuring that every negotiation and decision discussed at the MTPMA63 level is implemented in an organised, factual manner, based on a clear legal framework.
