KUCHING, Oct 10: Yang Di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak Tun Pehin Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar’s role in efforts to strengthen amendments to the Federal Constitution relating to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) deserves to be remembered as part of Sarawak’s institutional history.

Speaking at the Interfaith Thanksgiving Ceremony held in conjunction with the 80th birthday celebration of the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak, Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said that this was among Wan Junaidi’s most significant contributions when he served as the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department responsible for Parliament and law.

“Of course, the struggle for MA63 was not the work of one individual. It involved the Sarawak government, the federal government, Parliament, and many leaders and officials over several decades.
