Its president, Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing, said a resolution of the house would strengthen the mandate of the state government to act.
He said one representative must be appointed from Sabah to bring the matter in parliament.
“It seems that everyone is talking about the Malaysia Agreement now, not just the opposition. It shows that we are all on the same page,” he told FMT.
He pointed out that Deputy Chief Minister Raymond Tan recently was quoted as saying that Sabahans were not interested in discussing the Malaysia Agreement as the people only wanted their rights back.
Bumburing, the Tamparuli assemblyman, said the state government was the rightful body to pursue the matter with the federal government.
He urged the state assembly to agree unanimously on the matter.
Citing the example of Sarawak, he said all members of its state assembly voted in favour of giving the state government the mandate to pursue the issue of state rights with the federal government.
Currently, the responsibility was given by the Sabah cabinet to Special Tasks Minister Teo Chee Kang.
According to Teo, the cabinet directive qualified him as the representative of the Sabah government without any need to seek the approval of the state assembly.
Bumburing also said NGOs should stay out of any negotiation even if their members comprised politicians or federal or state ministers.
“Furthermore, it is not the exclusive right of anybody to talk about MA63,” he said, referring to MySabah’s legal adviser Tengku Fuad Ahmad who claimed it was not necessary to table any resolution in the state assembly to support a review under Article 112D of the Federal Constitution.
However, Bumburing insisted that MySabah had no locus standi in the matter.
“The last time I checked, MySabah is not the Sabah government and neither was it ever given the official authorisation by the state assembly to represent the Sabah government.”
