Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh argued that Sabah and Sarawak deserve 66.67 percent of parliamentary seats rather than the current 35 percent allocation. The Bawang Assan assemblyman responded to former federal minister Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun's dismissal of East Malaysian representation claims during a podcast on Sept. 26. Wong emphasized that Malaysia comprises three equal partners under the 1963 agreement, and mathematical equality demands each region receive 33.33 percent representation.
The politician referenced constitutional amendments made in 2021 that restored Sabah and Sarawak's status as equal partners in the federation. Wong stressed that genuine equality requires proportional parliamentary representation, rejecting arguments that current seat distribution reflects true partnership between the states.
