Sabah And Sarawak Will Be Better Off Under A Pakatan Harapan Federal And State Government After Necessary Economic Rationalisation To Save The Malaysian Economy From The BN Financial Scandals
Sabah and Sarawak will be better off under a Pakatan Harapan Federal and state government after necessary economic rationalisation to save the Malaysian economy from the Barisan Nasional financial scandals. DAP believes that Malaysians understand that the new government is struggling to put our finances in order after the 1MDB related scandals have resulted in our Federal government’s debt to balloon more than RM1 trillion.
However, Pakatan Harapan is committed to implementing the promises in our manifesto when the financial situation improves. In the meantime, we will work towards restoring the political position of Sabah and Sarawak such as restoring the position of Sabah and Sarawak as one of the three regions that constitute Malaysia in our Federal Constitution. Apart from political equality, the promises of social and economic rights made to Sabahans and Sarawakians will not be forgotten in a Pakatan Harapan Federal and state government and when the financial situation of the Federal government improves.
Further Sabahans and Sarawakians will be reassured by Pakatan Harapan’s vision of unity embracing all races and religions as well as every geographical region that reaffirms and reinforces the soul of Malaysia as democratic, respects rule of law, upholds integrity in leadership, social and economic justice, tolerant, celebrates diversity and inclusiveness.
Only with political, social and economic justice for Sabah and Sarawak can we overcome the opposition’s dangerous politics of national divisiveness, ethnic chauvinism, racist dominance, religious extremism and any independence movement that clouds reason with blind hatred.
