KOTA KINABALU: Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri (ANAK NEGERI) released its election manifesto based on the party’s 5-Point Agenda rooted in the core interest of the people of Sabah, especially the indigenous native community.
Its president Datuk Henrynus Amin said the party is founded upon the principle of people’s cooperative politics, where ownership and control of the political direction rest with its dedicated members, all unified by a common vision and shared values of struggle.
The party’s core ideology is unequivocally state sovereign rights, security, and prosperity focused on achieving prosperity, peace, and harmony through the principles of equality, truth, and justice.
The comprehensive agenda is articulated through the following five key points:
KEY POINT ONE: Defending the rights, dignity, and interests of the people of Sabah, especially Sabah’s natives (Orang Asal)
Parti ANAK NEGERI is resolute in its commitment to defend and champion the fundamental rights, dignity, and interests of all Sabahans, with a specific and primary focus on the Anak Negeri community, as the definitive community of Sabah.
KEY POINT TWO: The Demand for Sabah State Rights
The party champions Sabah’s state rights within the Federation of Malaysia, which includes state sovereign rights on natural resources, especially oil and gas, and also the immediate restoration of the constitutional 40% financial rights to federal revenue generated within Sabah, in strict compliance with the promises and guarantees enshrined in the Inter-Governmental Committee (IGC) Report 1962, the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), and the Malaysian Constitution.
KEY POINT THREE: Ensuring the Sovereignty and Security of Sabah
Parti ANAK NEGERI will strive relentlessly to ensure the sovereignty and security of Sabah within the Federation, specifically aimed at addressing the critical threat of shifting political demography and subsequently resolving the long-standing and destructive issue of PTI (illegal immigrants) and fake ICs (identity cards) in Sabah.
KEY POINT FOUR: Championing Economic Development and Poverty Eradication
The party champions economic development strategies centred on creating sustainable business and job opportunities. These efforts are designed to systematically eradicate poverty, particularly in rural areas, and significantly reduce unemployment rates among Sabah’s youth. The focus will be to fight corruption at all levels in order to stop the wastage and squandering of natural resources.
KEY POINT FIVE: Championing Religious Harmony and the Right to Freedom of Religion
Upholding human rights, Parti ANAK NEGERI specifically champions religious harmony and the constitutional right to freedom of religion in Sabah State. This commitment is in strict accordance with the principles of the RUKUN NEGARA (National Principles) and the sacred guarantee provided by the Keningau Oath Stone (Batu Sumpah Keningau).
”Our five-point Agenda of Struggle is not merely a list of aspirations; it is a foundational covenant with the people of Sabah,” said Henrynus.
“We stand firm on our promises in ensuring the sovereign rights, security and prosperity of all Sabahans are never compromised.
