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."

"The Federal Government under Malaysia's founding father Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Abdul Razak was fully democratic, transparent and practised good governance. However after these leaders, this practice gradually was not followed.

"During the past 20 years, more and more autocratic and monopolistic systems, laws and policies have been introduced and enforced by the Federal Government. The Sabah Government is either being ignored or kept aside."
