KUCHING: The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) has denied a claim made by a Facebook user that Sarawak has submitted a petition to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II for a review of the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
Meanwhile, a police report was lodged against the Facebook account owner with the moniker “Aman Shah”, by press secretary to the Chief Minister, Ambrose Cheng, at the Gita police station at 2.45pm today.
Ambrose was accompanied by political secretaries to the Chief Minister, Buang Bolhassan and Petrus Igat Mathias.
Ambrose said the CMO has never divulged any information of the sort claimed by the Facebook user.
The posting, said Ambrose, had also claimed that all Sarawak state assemblymen had unanimously agreed for the review of the agreement, and that the proposal was supported by a petition with 630,000 signatories.
“The posting is not true and we leave it to the police and the MCMC (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission) to investigate,” Ambrose said in a statement.
