Kota Kinabalu: Timbalan Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan
(gambar) berkata kerajaan negeri akan perlu menunggu arahan daripada Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM) sebelum membuat sebarang perubahan rasmi istilah untuk merujuk kepada Sabah sebagai wilayah, dan bukan lagi negeri.
Beliau berkata, walaupun Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin mengatakan bahawa Sabah dan Sarawak mempunyai kedudukan lebih tinggi daripada sebuah negeri, belum ada arahan rasmi untuk jabatan kerajaan mula merujuk kepada Sabah dan Sarawak sebagai wilayah.
