Malaysia's federal government is continuing discussions on elevating Sabah and Sarawak's combined parliamentary representation to 35 per cent as part of ongoing Malaysia Agreement 1963 negotiations.
Sarawak has exceeded its Borneonisation target by securing 87.5 per cent of key federal posts for state-born officers, while Sabah approaches 70 per cent in its drive towards a 90 per cent benchmark.
Sabah's government has reasserted its constitutional right to maintain independent immigration powers, insisting that implementation of the Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency Act 2024 must not undermine the state's autonomy guaranteed under the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
