  • Sabahan leaders is trapped by their own thinking. What Mahathir did with Project IC and destroying MA63 is now what opened the door to UMNO -PAS cooperation. Now only Sarawak stands freely to stop full joining of UMNO-PAS, it will never be enough. Restoring Sabah and Sarawak rights is about stopping Hadi's PAS and the theocratic state. Sabahan leader should instead get Mahathir to admit it and agree.
