00:00The Sabah election has delivered a powerful wake-up call to all of us.

00:12When DAP was confronted with corruption scandals and undeniable video evidence, they chose silence.

00:22When Sabah's call rights, including the 40% revenue entitlement, demanded clarity, they chose avoidance.

00:31Instead of addressing what truly matters to Sabahans, they repeated the same worn-out slogan of stability

00:40and obsessed over how many ministerial posts they should receive.

00:46This mirrors the mistakes MCA once made.

00:52When your direction is wrong, when your stance becomes vague, and when your moral bottom line is compromised,

01:01no amount of resources can restore people's trust.

01:04In politics, the greatest dangers lay not with the scandal, but the refusal to acknowledge it.

01:16It is not the existence of the problems, but the pretense that no problems exist.

01:23It is not making mistakes, but repeating the same mistakes that betray public confidence.

01:29This election has made one truth unmistakably clear.

01:37Voters are no longer fool.

01:40Especially in Sabah, the message is clear.

01:44When the political party abandons principles and its leaders abandon integrity,

01:51voters will decisively remove them without hesitation.

01:59Apakah yang mereka tidak suka dan tidak mahu?

02:04Rakyat tidak mahu rasuah dan penyalahgunaan kuasa.

02:09Rakyat tidak mahu ekstremism.

02:12Rakyat tidak mahu bangsa dan agama dimanipulasi.

02:18Rakyat tidak suka ketidakadilan, layanan berbeza, keangkuhan birokrasi,

02:24dan penipuan politik.

02:28Rakyat mengharapkan kehidupan yang aman dan makmur,

02:33pertumbuhan ekonomi,

02:35pekerjaan berkualiti,

02:37dan pendapatan tinggi.

02:40Serta keadilan dan kebenaran ditegakkan.

02:44Rakyat tidak mahu dipinggirkan

02:46dan rakyat mahu sebuah rumah yang selamat,

02:50seterstabil untuk membesarkan anak-anak mereka dengan senang.

02:54Oleh itu, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan,

02:57apabila keperluan rakyat diutamakan,

03:01halah tujuh parti kita menjadi jelas.

03:05So, saya hanya ingin singgah, bolehkah?

03:06It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

03:15Everywhere you go.
