The 20-point agreement, or the 20-point memorandum, is a list of 20 points drawn up by North Borneo, proposing terms for its incorporation into the new federation as the State of Sabah, during negotiations prior to the formation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963. Some of the twenty points were incorporated, to varying degrees, into what became the Constitution of Malaysia; others were merely accepted orally, thus not gaining legal status. The memorandum often serves as a focal point amongst those who argue that Sabah's rights within the Federation have been eroded over time.
All the Sabahans should know about the 20 points agreement signed and endorsed by our fore-father when Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya to form a country called Malaysia.
