The debate over whether Sabah's development would be better under local parties or national
00:07
parties should not arise, says its former Chief Minister Salih Saeed Kerouac. He said this is
00:13
because the Sabah government has almost always been aligned with the federal government.
00:18
He said since the formation of Malaysia in 1963, this alignment has typically occurred either
00:25
through national coalitions like Perikatan and Barisan National or through direct political
00:30
cooperation. He added that when party Bersat to Sabah defeated Burjaya in the state polls in 1985,
00:37
they too joined BN to ensure the federal and state alliance continued for the good of the people.
00:43
Salih, who is also the Sabah UMNO treasurer, said UMNO's entry into Sabah in the early 90s
00:49
helped Barisan National return to power in 1994, maintaining their grip on the state until the
00:55
2018 general election. During those 24 years, he said many major development projects were carried
01:01
out in Sabah through close collaboration with the federal government. He added that this
01:06
collaboration continued after G14 because with BN losing power in Sabah and Puchajaya,
01:12
Pakatan Harapan helped Barisan to lead the new state administration.
