The President of Dayak National Congress (DNC) Paul Raja asked why PAS and Umno Youth had forgotten that Sabah and Sarawak are part of Malaysia with a large non-Muslim population. Citizens of Sabah and Sarawak do have rights like any other Malaysian guaranteed under the MA63 and the federal constitution, if qualified, to be appointed to highest office in the civil service of the federation. In fact, we would like to remind that Article 153 of the federal constitution has been neglected by the previous regime, as far as the rights of the natives of Sabah and Sarawak are concerned with regard to appointments in the civil service. We, therefore, hope that PAS and Umno Youth should learn their lesson and be more charitable in their political struggle in promoting the rights and welfare of all Malaysians instead of being champions in suppressing other lawful citizens of this country called Malaysia. Malaysians have spoken clearly at the 14th general election and voted for a new Malaysia “where everybody can live harmoniously in a multiracial nation”. “Our race, colour and creed should not be made or use to divide us like what happened under the previous government,” Paul said. He said PAS and Umno Youth should help to build a better Malaysia, instead of trying to gain popularity using divisive means.
