Sabah has proposed number of seats needed to achieve one-third target
At present, Sabah and Sarawak account for 25% of the 222 parliamentary seats.
(The Vibes) – SABAH has proposed the number of parliamentary seats it requires to achieve one-third representation for the Borneo states to Putrajaya, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
He said this was made during the recently concluded MA63 Implementation Action Council Technical Committee meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, on September 12 in Kota Kinabalu.
Hajiji noted the matter had already been discussed twice at the officers’ level before being brought to the technical committee.
“Sabah has already met all the criteria to conduct a redelineation study to increase the number of its parliamentary seats,” he told reporters in Kota Kinabalu.
When asked whether Sabah had proposed how many seats it requires, Hajiji confirmed this but said, “I won’t disclose the number now.”
