00:00The increasingly extreme racial and religious sentiments being expressed in the country

00:06are causing East Malaysians to regret the formation of Malaysia,

00:10claims Tuaran MP Wilfred Madius Tangau.

00:13The former APCO president said even though the cabinet had rejected a proposal

00:18for guidelines on the involvement of Muslims at non-Muslim events,

00:22certain parties were still pushing for them.

00:24He said that such voices sow the seeds of division

00:28and have led many in Sabah and Sarawak to regret the formation of the Federation of Malaysia.

00:34According to Tangau, many East Malaysians believe that today's Malaysia

00:37does not reflect the Malaysia they agreed to form under the Malaysia Agreement 1963.

00:43Tangau said the proposed guidelines should have been presented and approved by the cabinet

00:48before being announced, adding that the failure to do so

00:51contradicted the principles of good governance.

00:54The proposed guidelines faced backlash from civil society,

00:57non-Muslim religious leaders and politicians, with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stating

01:02that the guidelines were unnecessary and would cause anxiety.

01:06The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah,

01:09had also expressed his disapproval of the proposal,

01:12saying the Qur'an and Sunnah already provided the best guidelines for Muslims.
