Yesterday, we learned that the Federal government will return the administration of two islands, Sipadan and Ligitan, to Sabah, while also giving Sarawak full control of its gas distribution. Are substantial steps towards MA63 or just cosmetic?

Additionally, we attempt to pin down the technical difference between classifying the states as "negeri" vs "wilayah".
