Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed ongoing negotiations between the federal government and the state of Sarawak regarding an increase to Sarawak’s special grant as stipulated by the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). The grant is a financial provision intended to benefit Sarawak, a state in Malaysian Borneo. Details of the proposed increase have not yet been disclosed. This development signals a continued effort to address long-standing financial concerns raised by Sarawak regarding revenue sharing and federal funding. The negotiations aim to revise the existing grant amount to better reflect Sarawak’s needs and contributions to the federation. This is part of a broader review of MA63 provisions to ensure equitable distribution of resources and address historical imbalances. Further discussions are expected to determine the final amount and implementation details of the revised grant.
