M4S promotes unity while respecting Sabah's rights: Ahmad Maslan
Published on: Thursday, July 17, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jul 17, 2025 By: Amir Anuar Text Size: Ahmad and others at the event. TAWAU: Central Umno war room secretariat chief Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan says Sabahans are now presented with two major choices in the coming 17th State Election – the nationally-driven 'Malaysia for Sabahans' (M4S) or the autonomy-based 'Sabah for Sabahans' (S4S) agenda. He described S4S as being pushed by local parties prioritising state rights, while M4S promotes a broader national integration approach within the Malaysian federation. Advertisement Ahmad stressed that M4S champions unity, fairness, and national inclusion without sidelining Sabah's interests and rights. He said that Sabahans are not only for Sabah but also for Malaysia, as the country is shared by 14 states and federal territories. He was commenting on the outcome of his working visit to the State on Wednesday evening and said S4S had a narrower scope compared to M4S. Ahmad added that for Umno-Barisan Nasional (BN) to attract other parties in forming a new unity government post-election, it must win all or most of the seats it contests. Speaking at an Umno Kalabakan event, he said the goal was possible if the party machinery successfully rallied voters to back Umno-BN candidates. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
