00:00This has gone on for the last six decades, and it will continue for many decades to come.

00:08This is a system we inherit, and I think we need to ensure that we mature in the process.

00:16In an exclusive interview with FMT, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged Malaysians to

00:21believe in the government-government system as an effective system to maintain relations

00:26between the government, parliament and the state.

00:33We've spoken a lot about the importance of unity, Prime Minister, and certainly unity

00:37is really at the core of your philosophy and framework.

00:43There have been increasingly louder calls for autonomy from states, for example, like

00:48Sarawak, Sabah, even Johor.

00:51How do you intend to strengthen unity within the federation?

00:57We have to empower states where it is necessary.

01:00I don't think we need to rest powers entirely to the federal authorities.

01:04At the same time, the state can make demands, but sometimes they have the capability, sometimes

01:09they don't.

01:10This is a federal system, we navigate, we negotiate, but we draw the line.

01:18The Prime Minister also stated that Putrajaya is always faced with various requests from

01:24different countries and groups.

01:27First, the Islamic professionals and ulama, and then the representative of the church groups,

01:35and then the Tamilians and the Hindus, I mean, that's a stark reality.

01:41And you go to Sabah, Sarawak, of course there are new demands.

01:44So I think we need to ensure that this process of negotiations through trust, understanding

01:50and respect continue.

01:51I don't find it to be too cumbersome or problematic.

01:57Recently, countries such as Penang and Johor have struggled to get a larger share

02:03of the country's revenue, while Sabah, Sarawak, Kelantan and Terengganu demand more oil royalties.

02:11As an example, the Sabah Legislation Union is taking legal action to get 40% of the

02:17country's revenue, while Sarawak also demands greater control over oil and

02:24land gas resources as well as its outsiders.

02:30To meet these demands, the federal government has agreed to double the special grant for

02:36Sabah and Sarawak in 2025, signifying a stronger commitment to development in East Malaysia.
