High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 20-point agreement, or the 20-point memorandum, is a list of 20 points drawn up by North Borneo (now Sabah and Labuan), proposing terms for its incorporation into the new federation as the State of Sabah, during negotiations prior to the formation of Malaysia. It accomplished through the enactment of the Malaysia Act (1963), clause 1(1) of which states that on Malaysia Day, Her Majesty’s sovereignty and jurisdiction in respect of the new states shall be relinquished so as to vest in the manner agreed, on 16 September 1963. In the Malaysia Bill of the Malaysia Agreement 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. That act often serves as a focal point amongst those who argue that Sabah`s rights within the Federation have been eroded over time. Conversely, it can be also contended that the provision under the 20-point agreement which had been tabled under the Malaysia Bill is now rendered to be null and void following the expulsion of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965.
