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.
