THREE committees have been formed to discuss MA63 rights. Round 1 In 2017, stating that Sabah was BN‘s fixed deposit and realizing the emergence of Sabah rights as a political issue, then Prime Minister Dato Najib Razak established a Devolution of Authority to Sabah and Sarawak and Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) implementation committee. This was at the behest and insistence of then Foreign Minister from Sabah, Datuk Anifah Aman. This cabinet level committee was headed by Anifah and Dato Nancy Shukri. At the state level the Sabah State committee was headed by Datuk Teo Chee Kang. No agreement was reached because BN lost the general elections in 2018. Round 2 Then under the PH government in 2018, a Presidential council headed by then PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad was formed together, among others, with the Chief Ministers of Sabah and Sarawak. Much was done by the late Datuk VK Liew who worked tirelessly to raise 21 matters as the issues to be discussed. Out of these 21 issues, 17 were agreed leaving four outstanding. Of the 17 agreed issues, three were resolved i.e. (i) Export duties for timber and forest revenues (ii) Administration of Sipadan Island and Ligitan Islands (iii) Agriculture and forest issues. Of the balance 14 agreed issues, four concerned the Delegation of power to the Sabah and Sarawak courts and administration of Justice, appointment of Judicial commissioners and Stamp duties imposed on transfer instruments (Memorandum of transfers), charges, leases of land under the Sabah Land Ordinance. This leaves 10 agreed issues which includes (i) Regulation of gas and electricity in Sabah and Sarawak (ii) Implementation of federal work in Sabah and Sarawak (iii) Labour force in Sabah and Sarawak Federal (iv) Joint obligations under joint list (v) Review of Special gifts ($) (vi) Fishing, inshore and offshore fisheries (vii) Ownership of federal lands in states (viii) Article 112 of the FC (increase in employment) (ix) Legal authority on Tourism and environment (x) State authority over health issues in Sabah and Sarawak
