“Recently, some political analysts have been trying to imply the existence of what they have come to call a ‘Borneo Bloc’ to counter narratives prevalent in the peninsula, particularly surrounding race and religion.“As a Sabahan, I am not at all pleased with this kind of talk. It suggests that we are only motivated to enhance our political power at the federal level,” the Usukan assemblyman said.
