Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) president Jeffrey Kitingan has called for a comprehensive review of federal laws he claims have “eaten” into the state’s constitutional powers and financial entitlements under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).

In a statement today, the Sabah deputy chief minister I said he welcomed Sarawak governor Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar’s recent remarks criticising federal encroachment into state matters, particularly over oil and environmental legislation.
