Sabah jointly formed the Federation of Malaysia on the 16th September, 1963. It has been 47 years since the Sabahan leaders agreed to form the Federation of Malaysia, in the hope that, the interests, rights and autonomy of the Sabah people are protected. Leaders come and go and the interpretation of good leadership in Sabah is subjective. However, the nexus of this article is not to interpret the leadership of the past leaders. The onus is on the current leaders.
What have the Sabahan got to be proud of being a Malaysian? Have the Sabahan felt that their interests, rights and autonomy are being protected? Let no political leaders argue or concur on these issues before searching their souls. This is not about who is right or wrong, pious or sinful, facts or myths but a matter of conscience and honesty.
