These measures of socio-political engineering successfully - TopicsExpress



          

These measures of socio-political engineering successfully transformed the rebellious Borneo states in earlier years into BN’s fixed deposits by 2008. In exchange for their loyalty to Putrajaya, the ruling elite of Sabah and Sarawak are allowed to plunder their own states. The price of BN’s successful regime maintenance is, however, the extreme marginalisation of Sabah and Sarawak, both remain among Malaysia’s poorest states despite their rich natural resources. Should we be surprised if some of our Borneo brothers and sisters now shout “independence” after decades of electoral loyalty to Umno/Barisan Nasional landed them in marginalisation and their grievance always fell on deaf ears?
