00:00The notion of a social contract has been used by some to overwrite the provisions of the

00:07federal constitution.

00:10This is what Sabah activist and political commentator Johan Arifin Samad said, adding

00:16that the concept had been politically weaponised to compel non-Malays to honour it.

00:22Johan said he wanted people in Sabah and Sarawak to be aware of how rogue peninsular politicians

00:29are using the social contract to subjugate the Borneo states.

00:34He emphasised that Sabah and Sarawak are equal partners in forming Malaysia and helped to

00:39form the federation, without the baggage of the social contract.

00:44The social contract was originally the title of a book by the 18th century French philosopher

00:50Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

00:52It was revived in the 1980s by UMNO politician Abdullah Ahmad, who was the first to publicly

00:59discuss the Ketuanan Melayu ideology.
