“MA63 Is Not a Demand—It’s Malaysia’s Birth Certificate”
I could see that the textbooks in schools portray MA63 as Sabah and Sarawak claiming their rights before formation.
But the reality is that MA63 is the foundation of the formation of Malaysia, and the parties involved signed an agreement to form Malaysia: UK, Singapore, Malayan Federation, Sabah, and Sarawak.
MA63 IS NOT A DEMAND – IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF MALAYSIA
Many people believe that Sabah and Sarawak are just making special demands. But actually, MA63 (Malaysia Agreement 1963) is the official agreement that created the country of Malaysia.
Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore, and the Federation of Malaya signed the agreement together with the United Kingdom. They are co-founders of Malaysia, not states that “joined”.
Without MA63, Malaysia would not exist. It is an international agreement, not something to be ignored.
Understanding MA63 is about knowing our true history, respecting justice, and building a real federation for all.
