Jayn : Mr. PM , We Sabahan can live peacefully amongst the many races here, despite the intense politicing by some political parties. Because why? we accept our differences and by not poking into someone else biz/life (too much).
I think amongst other issues relating to Bumiputeras in Sabah is Land issues - traditional and customery rights. I miss the traditional Bajau viliges built along rivers and seafronts.
