The status of Sarawak and Sabah as regions in Malaysia has not yet been gazetted.
Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the change in the status of the two states as regions was still at the proposal stage. "The matter has not been gazetted. It is still a proposal. Indeed, since the beginning, we should have the status as regions, but the situation has changed...that is why we amended the Federal Constitution," he told reporters at the Kuching Car Free Day Programme here today.
He said Sabah and Sarawak’s status as regions would be discussed at the coming MA63 meeting. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to be in Sarawak on Jan 18 and 19 for a two-day working visit.
