Arnold Puyok of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak says a stronger voice from Sabah and Sarawak is necessary to exert their autonomy.
All eyes are on GRS chairman Hajiji Noor and his GPS counterpart, Abang Johari Openg, on whether they can form a political alliance.
“A stronger voice from Borneo is better for Sabah and Sarawak to exert their autonomy based on MA63,” Puyok told FMT. “With blocs, where parties are supposed to act in concert, this political turmoil and chaos could be reduced.” “As a Sabahan, I am not at all pleased with this kind of talk. It suggests that we are only motivated to enhance our political power at the federal level,” the Usukan assemblyman told FMT.
While the two coalitions appear to be on the same wavelength in demanding decentralisation, GPS has not yet committed to a Borneo bloc plan because it thinks Sabah politics are too unpredictable and their political elites are less cohesive than those of Sarawak, Puyok said.
