Jika benar rakyat Malaysia mahukan keadilan untuk Palestin — maka mereka juga mesti menyokong keadilan untuk Sabah dan Sarawak melalui MA63.

Bukan sekadar slogan. Tapi hormati perjanjian. Hormati sejarah. Hormati rakan pengasas Malaysia.

Malaysia’s Federalism Spirit

Malaysia is a federation formed in 1963, not merely an extension of Malaya. It was established through the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), an international treaty signed by:

• The United Kingdom
• Federation of Malaya
• North Borneo (now Sabah)
• Sarawak
• Singapore (which later exited in 1965)

This means Sabah and Sarawak did not "join" Malaysia as new states — they co-founded Malaysia as equal partners alongside Malaya and Singapore. The intention was to form a new nation — not to expand an existing one.

Federalism in Malaysia, therefore, was meant to reflect equal partnership and autonomy — especially for Sabah and Sarawak, with special rights preserved under MA63, such as:

• Immigration control
• Language and religion protections
• Native land and resources
• Fiscal autonomy (e.g. oil royalties, development funds)

However, over time, many of these intended powers were gradually centralized, leading to calls for restoration and full implementation of MA63 to return to the original spirit of federation.

* Did you know?

The Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is not just history — it's the foundation of Malaysia.

✅ Sabah & Sarawak did NOT join Malaysia — they CO-FOUNDED it together with Malaya and Singapore.
✅ MA63 is an international treaty signed by all parties and witnessed by the UK.
✅ It promised special autonomy to Sabah & Sarawak in areas like immigration, education, religion, and resource control.
✅ Full MA63 implementation = a real federation, with equal partners — not central control from KL.
✅ Honoring MA63 is NOT anti-Malaysia. It is how Malaysia was meant to be: fair, united, and just.

We don’t need to fight to divide. We need to speak up to restore.
