AUTONOMY in the healthcare and education sectors to Sabah and Sarawak are the two remaining significant gaps to be filled in realising the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), said Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

The administrative power transfers in the sectors are expected to be completed within the current unity government’s term, which expires in 2028, Fadillah told The Malaysian Reserve in an interview.
