KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Government fully supports the Unity Government’s firm stand in defending the country’s sovereignty and dismissing any demand over Sabah, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Haji Hajiji Haji Noor.
“Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has made Malaysia’s stand clear, which is similar to our stand all this while,” he said in a statement today.
Hajiji said Sabahans have chosen to jointly form the Malaysia Federation through the Malaysian Agreement 1963 (MA63) therefore, any external claims against Sabah will not be recognised at all by the people.

He reiterated that Sabah has always been an integral part of Malaysia and that the
United Nations (UN) and the international community have recognised Sabah as part of Malaysia since the formation of the Federation of Malaysia on September 16, 1963.
The Chief Minister said the State Government also fully supported Wisma Putra’s action and statement that the viral video on social media, which disputed the sovereignty of Sabah, contained baseless and misleading contents.
“We are confident that the Foreign Ministry will be able to investigate the matter thoroughly in cooperation with the relevant ministries and agencies,” he said.
