Accommodating diversity


Sabah and Sarawak’s special position in our federation is based on compelling socio-political, economic, geographical and legal considerations.

THERE is no universal or single set of “best practices” or institutional and constitutional designs to manage conflicts arising out of ethnic, religious, linguistic and geographical diversity. Generally, however, a federal system of government is better suited than a unitary system for accommodating diversity in a plural and divided society.
