KUCHING, May 14 2026: Stakan state legislative member (SLM) Hamzah Brahim has urged the state government to demand for a one-third of the parliamentary seats for Sarawak and Sabah.
“This is not just about numbers, but about the "veto right" to ensure that the Federal Constitution cannot be amended alone by the peninsula without the consent of the Borneo Region,” he said in his speech during the debate on the Royal Address in the State Legislative Assembly (SLA) today.
“ It is the last bastion to guarantee that Sarawak's identity and rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) are not violated.
“In addition, we must consistently push for the decentralization of education and health powers,” Hamzah asserted.
He also said reminded that Sarawak can no longer be shackled by the Putrajaya bureaucracy in dealing with the issue of dilapidated schools and clinics.
“We also demand full power in the recruitment of teachers through the 90:10 policy as well as administrative autonomy to ensure that the service system is adapted to the unique geographical and demographic needs of our people.
“This struggle is about dignity and sovereignty,” he stressed.
