      COMMENT | What Sabahans really want

      Mahathir Mohd RaisPublished: Nov 11, 2025 10:57 AM | Updated: Nov 11, 2025 11:31 AM

      COMMENT | People in Sabah are tired. Tired of political games, tired of leaders switching sides, tired of promises that lead nowhere. The reality on the ground is simple: life is still hard, and politics is not helping enough.

      It is 2025, and many families in Sabah still rely on water from rivers or wells. Power cuts are frequent. In many places, roads remain gravel or mud.

      Parents worry if the local clinic has enough medicine. Teachers in rural schools stretch limited resources. Jobs are scarce. Prices keep rising, but wages remain the same.

      When elections come around, politicians arrive with slogans and speeches. They shake hands, make pledges, and talk about development. But for many Sabahans, the cycle is all too familiar. Once the votes are counted, silence follows.

      What frustrates people most is that their problems are not new. These are not...

      They just want politicians who work for the public interest, not their own.
