Work together to ensure demands of Sabah and Sarawak are met instead of finger-pointing, Ongkili tells MPs


KUALA LUMPUR: Cabinet minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili has cautioned Members of Parliament to mind their words when commenting on matters implying that Putrajaya colonises the east Malaysian states.

“We need to be careful of this, especially under the current government which upholds the Keluarga Malaysia (Malaysian Family) slogan. Instead of finger-pointing, we should work together and ensure that our voices are heard and demands met,” the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Sabah and Sarawak Affairs) said in his winding-up speech on Budget 2022 in Parliament on Monday (Nov 15).
