KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah and Sarawak have been accorded the status of region and are no longer regarded as states within Malaysia, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, said the relocation of the Indonesian capital to East Kalimantan made the Sabah and Sarawak regions more strategic, to be developed as new growth areas.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also the president of Umno, said this in his policy speech at the 2022 Umno general assembly, at the Kuala Lumpur World Trade Centre here, Friday , which was attended by 2,820 delegates. "Even though there are some basic things which have been already implemented, there are still several things which form the basis of MA63 that need to be translated for implementation," he said.
"Since 1963, Sabah and Sarawak have contributed a lot to the country's economic development, and now is the best time for us to develop both Sabah and Sarawak, in line with the development in the entire Borneo archipelago, including Kalimantan, Indonesia,” he said.
