ACTUAL FACT ON FORMATION OF M'SIA SHOULD BE RECORDED

Thanking the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak for declaring September 16 a public holiday beginning next year.

"But it is regrettable that the Prime Minister, while announcing this, still said Sabah and Sarawak joined Malaysia, although everyone knows that Sabah, Sarawak, the Malay Federation and Singapore consented to form Malaysia,"

"It is very sad when a top leader ignored the fact. The actual fact on the formation of Malaysia should be recorded in history,"

Sepanggar Member of Parliament, Datuk Eric Majimbun

"The decision by the government goes a long way to putting right what I have always called a distortion of history,"

"The Malaysia Agreement of 1963 and the consequential Federal Constitution contain the wishes of the people of Sabah expressed through various forum including the Twenty Points.

"Let us today also remember our founding fathers, to name but a few, Tun Fuad Stephens, Datu Mustapha, Temenggong Jugah, Stephen Kalong Ningkan, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak etc,"
