00:00A Karazan Dusun Murutrungus grassroots activist has accused the community's senior politicians

00:06of championing unity only in rhetoric while trapping political fragmentation through their actions.

00:13Picking on condition of anonymity, the activist, referring to a recent video in circulation,

00:18said that the senior KTMR leaders, including Partipasatu Sabah founder Joseph Pairin Kitingan

00:23and APCO founding president Bernard Dompok, who were seen urging Sabahans to unite behind local

00:29parties, were the very figures responsible for creating a rift in the community.

00:34He said these individuals did little to stop West Malaysian parties from allegedly stripping

00:39Sabah of what rightfully belongs to the state and had even benefited from it to a certain extent.

00:46Meanwhile, political analyst Lee Kwok-Tung said the fragmentation of the KTMR parties had occurred

00:51across generations and has been the reality for many years now. He said the fragmentation had

00:57less to do with politicians grappling for power and positions and was more about differing

01:02approaches to championing Sabah rights.

01:06Lee said that overall, the Gabong and Rakyat Sabah coalition, buoyed by the advantage of

01:10incumbency, remains the strongest contender hitting into the polls, while Warisan is increasingly

01:16emerging as the most talked about alternative force.

01:19I'm here with Araja, FMT.
