Smart move by Sarawak. A bit of give and take, to allow some transition, and allow for some very important “face” for Petronas.
See my next comment for why this transition is important.

FROM THE THREAD
Sarawak Chief Minister said:
“We are only fighting for our rights enshrined in the constitution and Malaysia Agreement 1963 that have been eroded over the years.”
=================================
My comment ...
It's long overdue for Peninsular and Sarawak and Sabah to work together as partners, rather than Peninsular unilaterally gutting the rights accorded to Sarawak and Sabah in the 1963 Malaysia Agreement 1963.
A side issue that I haven't seen raised anywhere by anyone... since the Malaysia Agreement 1963 has not been amended since 1963, and since Singapore was an original signatory, it may be legally necessary that any changes to the MA 1963 would require the approval of *Singapore*, along with approvals by Penisular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah (and possibly U.K.). Not sure about this point. Anyone care to clarify?
