Stay out of Sabah, Sarawak’s affairs, PAS info chief told
Gagasan Rakyat vice-president accuses Ahmad Fadhli Shaari of trying to sow enmity between the Bornean states and Putrajaya.
A Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah leader has cautioned PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari against meddling in the political matters of Sabah and Sarawak, as the government prepares to allocate additional parliamentary seats to the two states. Gagasan Rakyat vice-president Masiung Banah expressed concern that Fadhli's comments aimed to foster division between the Bornean states and the federal government.
According to Banah, Sabah's political parties respect the counterparts in the peninsula, including PAS, but found Fadhli's remarks unacceptable. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced on September 11 that the government would amend the constitution to increase parliamentary seats in Sabah and Sarawak in line with the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
Fadhli had previously warned Sabah and Sarawak leaders not to "plunge down the ravine with Anwar." Banah urged Fadhli to uphold PAS's integrity and allow Sabah and Sarawak's leaders to make the appropriate decisions for their respective states. He emphasized that the people of Borneo are known for their unity and mutual respect, despite their differing political views.
