KUCHING: Sarawak is waiting for the Sabah government to finalise its stand on whether or not tourism should be included in the concurrent list in the Federal Constitution before negotiating further with Putrajaya on the matter.
However, he said the Sabah government had proposed instead that tourism be taken out from the lists in the Ninth Schedule and remain a residual matter. "We are waiting for the Sabah government to finalise its stand before this matter can be brought up to the federal Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry and subsequently to the technical committee of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister for further action," he told the Sarawak Legislative Assembly during question time on Thursday .
With tourism in the concurrent list, he said, Sarawak would have the authority to make its own laws relating to tourism.
