'Chinese blood': Charge Najib under Sedition Act

It is widely documented that in the days preceding Operasi Lallang in October 1987, Najib Razak then as the head of Umno Youth, made a speech at a rally in Kampung Baru where he vowed to bathe his keris in the blood of Chinese Malaysian citizens.

Federalism in Malaysia

"At the formation of the federation 44 years ago, Sabah was considered incapable of governing itself due to the lack of qualified and experienced local administrators and political leaders.
"Now Sabah is ready to stand on its own feet and govern itself, not only because its people have progressed under Malaysia, but also it has kept pace with the general progress mankind has chalked up worldwide. Sabahans no longer need outsiders to help run the government and the State."
