KOTA KINABALU: Former Petagas Assemblyman Datuk James Ligunjang has highlighted the detrimental consequences of involving Malayan parties in Sabah’s political processes under the guise of driving development.
He said instead of promoting economic growth and safeguarding Sabah’s rights, this approach has hindered the state’s progress.
“The interference of Malayan parties in Sabah’s political landscape has contributed to the state’s current economic and political stagnation,” he said in a statement today.
To achieve tangible progress, Ligunjang believes that Sabah must adopt a new approach that removes the influence of Malayan parties in state politics.
He firmly believes that Sabahans are fully capable of governing their own state and leading it towards progress and prosperity.
Ligunjang urges Sabahans to take ownership of their destiny and demonstrate that Sabah can thrive without external interference.
He highlights Sabah’s rich cultural heritage, strong work ethics, and unwavering determination to build a better future.
Ligunjang encourages the support of local parties genuinely committed to the betterment of Sabah, while rejecting those who seek to divide and exploit the state’s resources.
