The federal/Malayan leaders may have a hidden agenda to marginalize and disenfranchise Sabahans and Sabah natives but the Sabah government should not be taken in with grandeur of the bumiputra/Malay agenda and promote the bumiputra empowerment program when their duty and obligation is to safeguard the special position of the Sabah natives. The esteemed TYT and the Sabah government are under a statutory duty and moral obligation under Article 41 of the Sabah Constitution to safeguard and promote the interests of the Sabah natives while looking after the legitimate interests of the other communities. I strongly urge the Sabah government to return to the correct path and set up a non-partisan Sabah Native Empowerment Council and start formulating a Sabah Native Empowerment Agenda and implement native empowerment programs and policies immediately concluded Dr. Jeffrey.
