00:00Former Sabah Chief Minister Saleh Said Kerouac has warned against importing Peninsula-style
00:06Malay unity rhetoric into the state, saying politics framed too heavily along racial and
00:11religious lines could disrupt the state's long-standing social harmony.
00:15He said that while many speak about Malay and Muslim unity in national politics, that
00:19narrative may suit the peninsula, but Sabah is different, especially in party politics.
00:24Saleh warned that such rhetoric can create deep divisions and tends to grow louder as
00:29elections draw nearer, risking the widening of differences among Sabahans.
00:33His remarks come amid renewed calls for greater Malay political consolidation, including
00:38opposition MP Wan Ahmad Faisal Wan Ahmad Kamal's push for an electoral pact for Malay parties,
00:44and past efforts like UMNO and PASIS Muafakat National, Free Kata National, and Dr. Mahathir
00:49Muhammad's Kurekan Tanah Aayu coalition led by Pejuang.
00:53He said Sabah's politics is anchored in autonomy, development, and accommodation, focusing on
00:58safeguarding the state's rights, economic progress, and managing diversity with maturity.
01:03Emphasizing that stability must take precedence after elections, Saleh said Sabah's stability
01:09rests on balance and accommodation, and leaders share the responsibility to protect Sabah's
01:13harmony and secure its future.
