Any move to limit PM post to single race divisive to Borneo states, says ex-SLS president


KOTA KINABALU: Any moves to amend the Federal Constitution to restrict the Prime Minister's office to Malays will be divisive, especially for Sabah and Sarawak, says former Sabah Law Society president Datuk Roger Chin.

"Altering the Constitution to favour one group over another would not only violate the social contract but also sow division and resentment, especially in Sabah and Sarawak, where the feeling of being marginalised can be stronger," he said.
