KUALA LUMPUR: The Madani government has resolved 12 matters under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), the highest number settled by any administration.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Sabah and Sarawak Affairs) Datuk Mustapha Sakmud said the achievement reflected the government's efforts to address long-standing issues that had remained under negotiation for years.

"Of all the governments so far, the Madani government has resolved the highest number of matters that had been negotiated for a long time.

"Twelve matters have been resolved, while previous administrations settled only four. Why were these issues not given serious and thorough attention before?
