More autonomy for Sarawak and Sabah or..?

The Chief Minister when asked  about the subject explained why Sarawak needs the so called autonomy for certain functions. He related the agreement when Malaysia was discussed in 1962/1963, vi-.a-viz The Cobbold Commission (headed by Lord Cameron Cobbold,1963). The details of the 18-points agreement were not furnished during the interview but the Chief Minister was stating immigration, PWD (JKR)..Education etc

I think it was not "asking for" as it sounds to be but reminder especially to federal leaders. The several questions surrounding this issue:

1. Why in the first place leaders before this were not aware or were not reminded about this?
2. Is there an opportunity to review those agreement, inter-governmental committee meeting between the three regions, Sabah, Sarawak and federal Government.
3. Has the Sarawak Education Enactment (1962) been "nullified" or repealed or revoked after the formation of Malaysia?


Salam sejahtera

It has been quite sometime I did not visit this blog. Obviously the absence has been due to other attraction. The social media is fast changing. No one resorts to only one but most could hardly depart from one they are comfortable with.
