He opined that these differences have contributed to an increasing political and emotional disconnect, leading some Sarawakians to question their place within the federation. He was responding to Works Minister Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi’s comments on long-standing concerns among Sarawakians regarding Peninsular Malaysia’s increasingly divisive political climate. I’m worried if we continue to quarrel over everything then don’t blame us, don’t blame Sarawakians. I need to protect Sarawak and if Sarawak prospers, Malaysia prospers.”
