We are doing it through the MA63 steering committee in peaceful negotiation. Certain quarters in Sarawak are asking for referendum should the negotiation failed, which in my opinion is also a very democratic way of seeking the public opinion without jeopardizing public order. Sarawakian as a peace loving people has grown mature over the years and our smart law makers and citizens will figure a way to fight for what is rightfully ours,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that Tun M\u2019s reply to the parliament indicated that there is no provision under the Federal Constitution, MA64, or the IGC Report that touched on any rights by Sabah and Sarawak to secede from Malaysia. Likewise, in my humble opinion the Federal Constitution, MA63 and IGC Report do not have any clause that prevented Sabah and Sarawak to secede from Malaysia either. My opinion echo Tun M\u2019s speech in New York last September when he told Malaysians residing in USA that there is no provision in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) that Sabah and Sarawak cannot ask for independence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24590\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24590\" style=\"width: 684px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Kho-Teck-Wan.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24590\" alt=\"Kho Teck Wan\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Kho-Teck-Wan-870x1024.jpg\" width=\"684\" height=\"805\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Kho-Teck-Wan-870x1024.jpg 870w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Kho-Teck-Wan-255x300.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kho Teck Wan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUPP Woman Chief, Kho Teck Wan believed that the Prime Minister&#8217;s, Tun Dr. Mahathir answer in the Parliament that action will only be taken under the Sedition Act Against those who call for Sarawak\u2019s secession from Malaysia is just a standard answer.
