00:00Analysts have warned that DAP's plan to fast-track its reform agenda after its crushing defeat
00:06in the Sabah election last weekend risks coming across as mere political sugarcoating, if
00:12not accompanied by tangible measures.
00:16Romzi Ationg and Bilcher Bala, both of University Malaysia Sabah, said six months was too short
00:22a time to implement major reforms and regain voter confidence, particularly among the Chinese
00:28community.
00:30In the context of Sabah, Romzi said DAP must demonstrate concrete actions, especially on
00:36issues of local autonomy to show that it understands Sabah politics, while offering inclusive development
00:42policies.
00:44He warned against announcing immediate reforms without follow-through, saying failure could
00:50invite criticism not only of DAP, but also of Pakatan Harapan.
00:56Bilcher agreed that the six-month timeframe was insufficient to reverse the shift of support
01:01to local parties, adding that without concrete measures on issues like the Malaysia Agreement
01:071963, oil revenue, and rural development, such promises were merely political rhetoric.
