He said a mature, disciplined and cooperative political approach must be prioritised in Sabah’s current political landscape.
“In a multi-party political system like Sabah, stability can only be achieved through mutual respect, open communication and willingness to cooperate for the state’s interests.
“Sabah Umno is committed to playing a responsible and constructive role in the Unity Government,” he said.
He pointed out that political differences must be managed wisely and through proper institutional channels, without compromising the main priorities of good governance, sustainable development and the welfare of Sabahans.
