砂拉越和沙巴加起来有57个国会议席，但政治分析员认为，单靠这个数字还不足以真正左右联邦立法。 [image: 1785038785726-borneo_bloc_jayum.jpeg] 图片来源：The Borneo Post 古晋，7月26日：政治分析员拿督 Prof Dr Jayum Jawan 认为，所谓“婆罗洲联盟”（Borneo Bloc）如果只是把砂沙议席加起来，影响力未必像外界想象中那么大。 他说，砂拉越和沙巴目前合共掌握 222个国会议席中的57席，大约占 26%。相比之下，西马国会议席有125席，数字上仍然占明显多数。 重点在这里 Jayum 说，砂拉越和沙巴当然是马来西亚成立时的平等伙伴，但如果西马国会议员一致投票，砂沙57席并不足以阻止法案通过。 这番话是回应 Borneo Dayak Forum International 主席拿督斯里邦里玛 Dr 杰菲里吉丁岸（Jeffrey Kitingan） 的建议。杰菲里吉丁岸 早前提出，砂拉越和沙巴应该组成国会联盟，一起争取 MA63 下的宪法权益。 杰菲里吉丁岸 认为，如果两州能用一个声音说话，在国会谈判时会更有力量，尤其砂拉越过去通过 GPS 的政治团结，在油气权益上已有进展。 讨论不会就这样结束 Jayum 也承认，近年砂沙争取更多自主权的声音越来越大，和联邦政治不再由单一大党主导有关。 所以，这不是说联盟没有意义。只是现实很直接：团结重要，席位数字也一样重要。 来源：The Borneo Post Hot Score: 27/30 你觉得呢？

Sabah and Sarawak may hold 57 parliamentary seats together, but one political analyst says that number is still not enough to shape federal lawmaking on its own. [image: 1785038785726-borneo_bloc_jayum.jpeg] Photo: The Borneo Post KUCHING, July 26: Political analyst Datuk Prof Dr Jayum Jawan has poured cold water on the idea that a proposed Borneo Bloc can strongly influence Parliament just by combining Sabah and Sarawak seats. He said the two states hold 57 out of 222 Dewan Rakyat seats, or about 26 per cent of the House. That is still far below the 125 seats held by Peninsular Malaysia. Why the number matters Jayum said Sabah and Sarawak are equal partners in the formation of Malaysia, but their current seat count cannot stop a law from passing if MPs from the peninsula vote together. His comments came after Borneo Dayak Forum International president Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan proposed a Sabah-Sarawak parliamentary alliance to push for constitutional rights under MA63. Jeffrey said a united front would give both states a stronger voice, especially as Sarawak has made progress on oil and gas rights through political unity under GPS. Still a bigger conversation Jayum also acknowledged that the call for greater autonomy under MA63 has gained momentum because federal politics no longer revolves around one dominant party. So the debate is not over. But his point is simple: unity helps, numbers still matter. Source: The Borneo Post Hot Score: 27/30 What do you think?

沙巴和砂拉越组成更大的婆罗洲政治联盟，这个建议今天被提出来了。 [image: 1784714623317-kitingan-sabah-sarawak-alliance.jpg] 来源：DayakDaily Borneo Dayak Forum International 主席 Datuk Seri Panglima Dr 杰菲里吉丁岸（Jeffrey Gapari Kitingan） 说，砂拉越政党联盟 GPS 可以考虑“加多一个 S”，和沙巴组成更大的 Borneo Bloc。 他说，沙巴和砂拉越加起来共有 57 个国会议席。如果两州能用同一个声音发声，在争取宪法权益、MA63 课题和联邦发展拨款方面，会更有分量。 杰菲里吉丁岸 也是 Keningau 国会议员。他说，砂拉越因为政治上比较团结，所以在石油与天然气权益等课题上走得更前。沙巴也可以参考这个方向，和砂拉越更紧密合作。 地点： 石隆门 Tasik Biru 详情： 这项建议是在 7月22日 Sarawak Independence Day Cultural Parade 2026 Vol. 2 上提出。 新闻来源： https://dayakdaily.com/gps-has-succeeded-now-add-another-s-kitingan-proposes-sabah-sarawak-alliance/ 你觉得呢？

A Sabah-Sarawak political alliance has been floated as a way to give both states a stronger voice in Parliament.

He said Sabah and Sarawak together hold 57 parliamentary seats, which would give the two Borneo states more weight when pushing for constitutional rights, MA63 matters and fairer federal development funding. Kitingan, who is also Keningau MP, said Sarawak’s political unity has helped the state move further in areas like oil and gas rights. He said Sabah should learn from that and work closer with Sarawak. Location: Tasik Biru, Bau Details: Proposal raised during the Sarawak Independence Day Cultural Parade 2026 Vol. 2 on July 22.

「我第一次遇到州政府给我钱，不是跟我要钱。」 昨晚在古晋 BCCK 举行的砂拉越级达雅节晚宴上，首相安华爆出这一句全场掌声雷动的话。 事缘砂副总理道格拉斯在现场递给安华一张 RM18亿 支票，这是砂拉越政府为民都鲁港监管权移交向联邦交付的款项。 安华说，担任财长这么多年，走遍各州都是来要拨款的，昨晚在砂拉越却是第一次接支票。 他盛赞砂总理阿邦佐哈里的团队治理能力强、财政纪律好，证明砂拉越已经具备独立管理大型基础设施的成熟能力。 这番话也被认为是间接回应西马某些政治人物反对 MA63 下把资产归还东马的声音。 安华强调，在整个谈判过程中，砂拉越从未威胁或发出最后通牒，展现了真正的协商精神和成熟的政治态度。 他也在致词中分享外交成果，包括大马与俄罗斯签下20年能源供应协议、国油成功拿下土库曼斯坦气田管理权，以及日本要求签定类似长期供气合约。 地点： 古晋 BCCK 详情： 砂拉越移交 RM18亿 民都鲁港款项；MA63 谈判进展；安华高度评价砂拉越领导层 新闻来源： DayakDaily MA63 谈到现在这个地步，你觉得满意吗？

'For the first time in my career, a state government handed me a cheque instead of asking for allocations.' Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim made this remark at the State-level Gawai Dayak 2026 Gala Dinner at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) on Sunday night, after Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas presented him with a RM1.8 billion cheque from the Sarawak government. The cheque relates to the Bintulu Port regulatory handover — a major MA63 milestone that officially transferred control to Sarawak. Anwar said the gesture proves that when a state is managed well, with competent leadership and sound fiscal governance, it can deliver. He specifically saluted Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and his team. He also addressed critics in Peninsular Malaysia who have opposed devolving strategic assets back to East Malaysia under MA63, arguing that Sarawak has developed the institutional maturity to manage major infrastructure on its own. 'Throughout my time leading the government, despite complex negotiations, there has never been a single threat or ultimatum from Sarawak. This is the true spirit of consensus, maturity, and understanding of the Federal Constitution,' he added. Anwar also touched on international diplomacy, revealing that Malaysia secured a 20-year energy supply guarantee from Russia, won the management of Gas Fields 9 and 10 in Turkmenistan through PETRONAS, and that Japan has requested similar long-term gas supply agreements.
