KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Pakatan Harapan (PH) supports the state government's position and stand regarding the Sabah Law Society (SLS) court action.

“Sabah PH fully understands and respects the decision taken by SLS in bringing Sabah 40 per cent constitutional rights to court in their Judicial Review application,” said Sabah PH Leadership Council in a statement on Saturday. 

“In 2022, Sabah PH had also initiated a court action against the Federal and the Sabah government by way of Originating Summons claiming for Sabah 40 per cent constitutional right to be respected and implemented.

“Sabah PH, now part of the Federal and State Governments, determined to ensure that the matter is resolved through the Implementation Action Council and the Technical Committee (MA 63 Committees) headed by the Prime Minister and the second Deputy Prime Minister, respectively.” 

Sabah PH also views positively SLS action continuing to be heard in court and, at the same time, the commitment of the federal government to resolve the MA63 matters through the establishment of the MA63 committees with representatives from the Sabah and Sarawak governments appointed to these committees. 

“Our approach may differ, but our goal remains the same, and that is to ensure that the constitutional rights of Sabah in the MA63 are fully respected and implemented,” the Council said.
