TUARAN, Nov 27 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stressed the importance of maintaining good federal–Sabah relations as any tensions and misunderstandings could undermine the state’s development and the people’s well-being.

The Prime Minister said strong ties and close cooperation are crucial to facilitate matters related to Sabah’s claims under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), including the immediate implementation of Sabah’s 40 per cent revenue entitlement.
