The ‘1976 amendment’ is an inclusive nation-building effort
I am reading with great interest the on-going debates about the amendment in the Federal Constitution which purportedly ‘demoted’ Sarawak’s status from a ‘region’ to a ‘state’. My name was mentioned as one of the Sarawak MPs who ‘supported’ the amendment. I will not apologise for it was a collective decision and accept full responsibility for what happened because it was a better option to move forward at that time as far as our nation building process was concerned.
