IN recent news we read that MA63 is under implementation stage, as stated by the Federal Government. What steps should the state government take to ensure that it is implemented in a fair and effective way?
First of all, you need to understand our own limitation and provision set out in MA63. The lowest hanging fruits are the setting free of Cabotage policy implemented in 1983, and the Rice Monopoly by Federal Government in 1970.
SABAH should be given the right to import and export rice as what Sabah used to do before 1982, said Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Deputy President Japiril Suhaimin.
Kota Kinabalu: The Federation of Chinese Associations Sabah (FCAS) has urged the Federal government to restore Sabah’s right to import and export of rice.
