After 1965 - Is Malaysia Agreement 1963 Still Valid?

Ex Chief Minister of Sabah, Datuk Seri Panglima Yong Teck Lee's point of view at UBF fuction.

The four constitutional documents and/or constitutional conventions -- the 1963 Malaysia Agreement (MA63), the 20/18 Points (20/18 P), the Inter-Governmental Committee Report (IGCR) and the Cobbold Commission Report (CCR) -- envisaged Sabah and Sarawak as equal partners in Malaysia along with Malaya (now Peninsular Malaysia) and Singapore (until 1965).

These documents, read together with the Malaysian Constitution, involve the autonomy of Sabah and Sarawak and their rights in the federation as a two-tier set-up.

At another or second and lower level, Malaya or Peninsular Malaysia is a federation of the states in the Peninsula.
